4/10
Lackluster parody
10 June 2022
A man-too-old-for-the-part wants to get out of the spy business after he meets a VERY quirky girl, but still goes to save the Agency he works for while rushing through his relationship.

Straight out of the gate.. It's a dumb movie.

Just to set expectations : You can see the female lead's nipples (separately, and both by accident). So, they either found out and left it (because no one cared enough) or they missed it. There's even a take that is reused seconds after the first! Which is weird, considering this looks like it had decent enough production, CGI and with a good budget. As a spoof, it goes for a very unrealistic and comedic tone, which it consistently maintains. Sadly, it's not a good comedy and much less a spy film! Most of the cast has a charming, yet forgettable role (lots of pretty ladies). Has good choreography at times, satisfactory locations and camera work. Bad audio in some parts and a script that's just all over the place (with inklings of subversions for the genre, yet employs very cliched outcomes just to keep things moving).

I didn't have any expectations, started to enjoy myself, and then it got boring towards the end. Not sure if I would have enjoyed it more if I had watched it with someone else. I wouldn't recommend to anyone, or would watch again.

At least, the trailer got me curious enough to try it.
