The film contains a remarkable level of violence, yet never establishes a tone that would make it seem funny or truly shocking; the jokes flounder in an air of half-hearted spite.

Puerile, irritating and insultingly phallocentric.

30 Minutes or Less has one of those screenplays that looks goodish on paper but is only a bit above average.

The comedy reaches for broad laughs of the bromance and stoner kind, but not in a good way.
