Watching The Hangover: Part III, you can actually tell that one of its star, the supremely talented Bradley Cooper, is thinking: "Oh, man - how much longer do I have to do this sh*t for?" He'll be happy to know that he probably won't ever have to return to the world of this once great franchise (and by "once great franchise," we mean it had one good movie) again, given the quality on show here. Comedy, you say? Uh-uh. Try "mean-spirited, slightly disturbing action thriller" instead. Seriously. There's no fun to be had with The Hangover: Part III, which almost plays out like some kind of twisted joke at those who were dumb enough to go see it. Whereas the second movie in the more-bad-than-good trilogy reprised the beats of the first flick verbatim, this venture flies goes into territory unknown and delivers an experience that is never anything but a drag to watch. An actual hangover would be preferable to having to sit through all 100 minutes of this horsesh*t.
