While it’s not necessarily anything new in concept, it is quite fun to watch and take in. This is a typical sort of hitman story with a twist. That twist being the concept of time travel being introduced. It follows a core dynamic of this hitman kind of duo as they deal with a problem yet to come.

You’ve got Quick Draw Mike (James Marsden) who’s finally leaving the business and then the sort of more relaxed yet focused Nick (Vince Vaughn). There’s some surprises, a tad bit of weirdness and then Mike quickly learns that multiple Nicks are in play and that there’s some time travel involved.

The general concept is that Nick feels bad about a particular situation involving Mike, himself and Alice (his wife, also Mike’s lover) so he goes back in time to adjust things. You get an interesting bit song and dance from Symon (Ben Schwartz) then the plot is away.

As I said, it’s nothing too unpredictable but I got some solid laughs from it and I enjoyed the action. It nails the violence, the action and the comedy within it. It’s somewhat noticeable to see an aging double Vince Vaughn going about doing the action but it works well enough.

It was a fairly simple sort of run with some more intimate locations that led towards some large scale action. There’s a fun side plot going on with Jimmy Boy (Jimmy Tatro) and his father Sosa (Keith David) that added some good split moments to the action.

It weaves together nicely with some decent reveals coming across the story and enough laughs to carry the momentum. From a visual perspective it looked fine, the action was well enough placed and there’s some neat effects that are utilized to further add to surprises that happen throughout.

The Conclusion

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is a fun action film that delivers some good laughs and some nice twists throughout. It’s somewhat generic too, but I think it works well and I had fun watching it. It was funny enough with the comedy delivering consistently throughout and I enjoyed that it was willing to go a little zany whilst still being grounded.

I don’t think it was anything too out of the ordinary but I enjoyed the trio? I think you can say trio with the doubling involved as there is technically four of them. They work it out well as Vaugh is doubled and it shot in a way that makes it work. It’s a solid offering, not sure I’d necessarily give it another whirl but is worth a one through viewing for sure.
