MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Next Day Air
Smalltime hoods Brody and Guch have seen better days. But when a wacked-out courier accidentally brings them a box containing 10 kilos of high-quality cocaine meant for their next-door neighbors, it sets in motion a hilarious and harrowing chain of events that could cost all of them their lives. Brody and Guch immediately arrange to sell the coke to Brody's drug dealer cousin and his tightlipped bodyguard. But when the intended recipients of the package, wannabe gangster Jesus and his feisty girlfriend, realize the box hasn't arrived, they set out on a desperate search to find it before ruthless drug kingpin Bodega Diablo notices it's missing. But they're too late. Furious over the loss of his shipment, mob boss Bodega will stop at nothing to get the drugs back. With Brody and Guch's drug deal about to go down, all parties are on a collision course that's almost certain to end in heavy gunfire. And, whoever's still standing when the smoke clears could walk away with nearly a million dollars in cash and drugs!
Related reviews:
There's something pleasingly old-fashioned about "Next Day Air," its drugs, gunfights and body count notwithstanding. It brings back the fun of watching an irresponsible, raunchy matinee at a ramshackle Chestnut Street movie palace, back when the palaces and the urban action-comedies that suited them still existed.
