Coming to theaters August 12^th is director Ruben Fleisher’s 30 Minutes or Less.  The film, which reteams Fleisher with his Zombieland star Jesse Eisenberg, tells the story of a pizza delivery boy who is strapped with a bomb and forced to rob a bank in order to help two hapless criminals (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson) raise $100,000 to pay a hitman.  Along the way, Eisenberg enlists his best friend, (Aziz Ansari) to help with the heist.
