The Man From Toronto is unoriginal. It's the type of movie that people barely pay attention to. Its premise is tired, but can be enjoyable if executed with energy. Hart brings his usual charisma, but, unfortunately, that's the only momentum here. It's telling that Hart's stale shtick is the best attribute of this film. Otherwise, it's Harrelson's dull acting, unrefined comedy, predictable action, and forced drama. Overall, The Man From Toronto provides nothing new. Some viewers might not hate it, but nobody will remember it in a week. When it comes to thrills, laughs, or emotions, The Man From Toronto is a flatline.
Technically, The Man From Toronto is equally bland. The cinematography is competent, using drones, overheads, focus, movement, and an extended shot for the climax. However, all of this is superficial. The editing also helped with that extended take, but that's its only achievement. The film is otherwise boring and sloppily paced. Meanwhile, the music, sound, and production are all generic, giving the film a cheap undertone. Lastly, the effects are unconvincing, with crummy CGI and distracting green-screening. Ultimately, The Man From Toronto is ineffective in all of its attempts. It isn't aggressively bad, but it definitely isn't good.
