The Brothers Grimsby is a middle of the road action/comedy where Sacha Baron Cohen’s R-Rated comedy brand offers diminishing returns. Director Louis Leterrier helps to liven the proceedings through certain stylistic flourishes and editing choices that keep the film sprinting towards the finish line throughout, but those elements can only do so much to compensate for how often Cohen and his collaborators’ R-Rated shenanigans here come off as concerted efforts to top jokes and gags that were done better (or, at the least, were fresher) in their previous films. Moviegoers who have a soft spot for Cohen’s brand of gleefully mean-spirited comedy and bad-taste humor should get additional mileage out of The Brothers Grimsby, but any other interested parties might be better off waiting to watch this “Borat meets Jason Bourne” action/comedy at home.
