Spy — A spy action comedy that delivers on the goods — 8*/10

  • Scenario: This is an obvious parody of spy movies, more specifically James Bond, but other super-spy flick also. Fortunately, it doesn't turn into a stupid joke fest and walks quite well the difficult line between serious but subtly funny and silly in a straight face kind of way. Even being a comedy, it still deliver solid action and an interesting story, giving us a high entertainment value film.
  • Dialogs: Solid, fast-fire exchanges.
  • Characters: Very interesting, not too complicated. The main character also has a nice depth to it, and, to a lesser extent, so does its nemesis.
  • Actors: Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne are a great duo, the true hilarity really only starts when their characters meet. Jason Statham is a surprising parody of his usual role and turns out quite funny. Cast members also include Morena Baccarin and Jude Law.
  • Photography: Very nice.
  • Sound: Very nice music and score, again a parody of Bond movies.
  • Special effects: Solid.

  • Who is it for? Anyone looking for a good laugh and some spy action.
