Review of Spy (2015) by Jess_Hill — 11 Jul 2015
An unexpected delight! This was a fast paced, tongue in cheek satire that was clever, intelligent and punctuated by frequent hilarity. Mcarthy is brilliant, and Statham displays a hitherto unseen sense of comic timing that was utilised to great effect.
A surprising script peppered with every expletive you can think of, and probably some you can't, and some rather visceral violence ensures that Mcarthy will be thought of alongside other famous on-screen spies.
The action sequences were excellent and the dialogue was absolutely superb, with so many memorable lines. In the same league as Kingsmen, though not quite as polished, this was a thoroughly enjoyable film.
