"Bonus Trip" promised to be the next big thing in the buddy cop genre, but unfortunately, it falls short of the mark. While it does have its moments of brilliance, they are overshadowed by a lack of both comedy and action, leaving audiences wanting more.
The film follows the mismatched duo of Marshall and Demetrius as they attempt to take down a pety copyright gang but bumps into a notorious crime syndicate. The chemistry between Marshall and Demetrius is palpable, and they manage to inject some life into their characters despite the bumpy script.
One of the film's biggest flaws is its failure to strike a balance between comedy and action. While there are a few standout jokes that elicit genuine laughter, they are few and far between. Similarly, the action sequences, when they do occur, are well-executed, but they are too sparse to keep audiences fully engaged.
That being said, the film does have its redeeming qualities. Marshall and Demetrius deliver solid performances, and their dynamic as partners is believable and entertaining to watch. Additionally, the few action scenes that are present are expertly choreographed and provide a much-needed adrenaline boost.
