Next Day Air is sort of bracing, though it isn't very good: Its total lack of dramatic and comic bearings, to say nothing of a point, keeps you wondering about the next fatality, in a half-interested way.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
There are no cops, not much farcical energy, and none of the satiric edge it would take to pull off the film's grim denouement.
I've seen much funnier films from Mike Epps.
An amusing tail of incompetent criminals.
He may be a first-time feature director, but music video master Benny Boom clearly knows how to pull a midlevel movie together. That's harder than it sounds.
