Here’s the intelligence we decode in CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE:

· A high-level look at the plot without giving too much away

· Bob Stone’s fanny pack

· Why the movie is called CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

· How they were able to give us Dwayne Johnson’s character as a much heavier and 20-year younger version of himself

· What works in the movie

· What doesn’t work
