Next Day Air - Movie Review and Synopsis

When a misguided delivery driver inadvertently delivers a package containing concealed bricks of cocaine to the wrong address, it sets in motion a desperate search and battle for the coke between the furious dealer that sent it, the fearful intended recipients that missed it, and the conniving accidental recipients that plan to flip it. Time is running out and everyone’s trying to get their hands on the package that’s been sent…Next Day Air!

Summit Entertainment is flush with cash and cache post-Twilight, and hopefully they’ll maximize their resources to turn this dark comedy, which sounds to me like Pineapple Express cut with Friday, into an early summer hit. The cast, which includes Wood Harris (the former drug kingpin on “The Wire”), is note-perfect, and hopefully the green behind-the-camera talent found a balance between humor and suspense. Word on the street is quiet thus far, though …

Rated R for pervasive language, drug content, some violence and brief sexuality.
