“The Reunion” is a split-personality action comedy that fails to please either impulse. The action is wan, the laughs hard to come by.
Wrestling star John Cena is surrounded with decent actors (Amy Smart, Ethan Embry, Michael Rispoli). But an incoherent script gives them too little to do.
Cena has become a comfortable screen presence — within a certain range. He’s OK as a cop on disciplinary leave forced to form a sort of bounty-hunter business with his siblings in order for them all to receive an inheritance.
But the screenplay is slapdash, the locations are New Mexico generic, and the characters act in howlingly illogical and illegal ways.
Coming at the end of a string of WWE flops, “The Reunion” makes one wonder about the motives and business model for this whole enterprise. Roger Moore, the Orlando Sentinel
