If you have been repeatedly disappointed by lacklustre, cliched Hollywood comedies, then Extreme Job will be a breath of fresh air.

This comedy balances its action setpieces - there are shootouts, extended fight scenes and car chases aplenty - with slower character-driven scenes that give viewers something to root for.
