Tag Film Review

Finished watching Tag, directed by Jeff Tomsic and starring Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Annabelle Wallis, Isla Fisher, Jake Johnson, Hannibal Buress and Jeremy Renner. The film opens with Hoagie (Ed Helms) going a job as a janitor within the offices of his friend Bob Callahan’s (Jon Hamm) one business as cover to get him back into the game of Tag that they have played since they were kids. While at the offices Bob was being interviewed by journalist Rebecca Crosby (Annabelle Wallis) who decides to to over see and write an article of the game of Tag the friends play as they meet up with Hoagie’s wife Anna (Isla Fisher) on a trip around America to bring their friends Chilli (Jake Johnson) and Kevin (Hannibal Buress) into the game. With everyone back together they head back to their hometown where group of friends being to make plans to finally Tag their friend Jerry (Jeremy Renner) at his wedding with the hope to break his perfect record. Overall this was a great film as it first a great job in blending the extremely well set out and choreographed action scenes with the extremely hilarious comedy within the film while still being able to crate some surprising moments of suspense. The film also does a great job in giving each of the main cast enough of a backstory that helps to layer each of the group of friends that even leads to some surprising character development towards the end of the film with how some characters are able to group and strengthen their relationships with one another. 8.5/10.
