Watching the terrorist group operate shows how easily they can rise and how dysfunctional they can become. This is plenty of action comedy in the violence, which, for the right tone, is great fun.
Worst Parts
It leans into the fantasy violence a bit too often, instead of letting Becky off the leash.
