The Bad Guys
Dir: Pierre Perifel
Cast (voices): Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, Craig Robinson
Rating: 3/5

A frenetic animated comedic actioner, this Universal Pictures-Dreamworks team-up based on the kids’ graphic novel series by Aaron Blabey, could well be a much needed nudge towards a reformative criminal justice system. Even though the Bad Guys (serial abusers of the law) are caught in the act, they are able to broker a deal that could keep them out of prison.

Bad Guys, tagged as the world’s most-wanted villains after years of countless heists, are finally caught just past the halfway mark. But before that happens, they treat us to a barrel full of easy, breezy laughs. Set in Sun baked Southern California the animation radiates a sunny disposition and irreverent cool.
