CHiPS (2017)

Absolutely Brilliant!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I get the impression that the people who left negative reviews did not understand what type of movie they were getting into. The first thing you need to understand before watching this movie is that it was written and directed by Dax Sheppard. With that in mind, you should expect a certain type of comedy given his background. And if you enjoy his type of comedy, than this is a can't miss. For someone with no acting experience prior to being cast on punk'd, Sheppard has built himself a pretty decent resume, and to his credit, become a talented actor, writer, and director. My main takeaway from this movie, aside from the fact that it is hilarious, was that Michael Pena is an incredibly versatile actor, and is just as talented in the comedic genre as he is in the dramatic genre. He steals the show in the movie. Dax Sheppard is his typical endearing self, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. If you like his work, it's definitely worth a watch.

By modern, I mean language, sex/nudity, intense violence. Pena is Ponch, a sex addict FBI agent who goes undercover to figure out who is robbing armored cars. Shepard is Jon, a washed up (and severely injured) former motocross racer. Shepard's injuries are slightly overplayed, but fairly funny. Pena's addiction is very overplayed, to the point he has an intimate yet awkward FaceTime with his captain. Felt Vincent D's villain character was underrated. Knew he was evil, but didn't realize extent until the end.

It is a movie about finding your way in the world when living with undiagnosed aspergers, a.k.a. high functioning autism. In an unilkely turn of events the two main characters are pit together against a group of bad cops, their bully ringleader, and his dope fiend son. While fighting with the comorbidities of autism the two heroes, who are wonderfully portraied by Michael Pena and Dax Shepard, grows in understanding of eachother, their particular illness, and their own path to happiness.Not since the classic Dumb Dumber has there been a deeper, more loving and authentic portrayal of living with autism.
