Review of Spy

Spy (2015)
3/10
If you saw the trailer, then you've seen this film
5 June 2015
Had high hopes for this movie, but it really disappoints. For some reason, these spy spoof films seem to fail, Mortdecai starring Johnny Depp is one example, nothing recent comes close to the Austin Powers films. this one sees Melissa Mccarthy playing a CIA agent who volunteers to get into the field. the movie is quite predictable and all the funny parts feel forced, and the better scenes are all seen in the trailer, basically, if you've watched the trailer then you watched the best parts of the film and you can just skip the rest. all characters are very annoying and none are likable, no real backbone history of any of them.

action was lame, and boring.

Jason Statham and Rose Byrne, two of my favorite actors fail to impress here, probably because of what they had to work with, and the poorly written script. I really got bored mid way through the film and wanted to leave, the plot is slow and you just keep waiting for the funny parts that never arrive, or do arrive but you've already seen them in the trailer.

I'd skip this one.
