Ruuz
5.0

A patently unfunny comedy, whose audience-gateway character is the most annoying of the bunch. Moderately uplifted by setting, the fact that Bruce Willis wasn't 100% phoning it in for once, John Goodman once again "going through some stuff", and the always endearing Jason Momoa... Who is apparently ... Mexican for some reason. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
