Review of Spy (2015) by Michael1208 — 05 Jun 2015

This feminist version of 007 James Bond might lack of originality on its first place but the outstanding chemistry and performance from the cast unexpectedly turn it into an entertaining film to enjoy.

Director Paul Feig has turned both Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham from their usual annoying and heroic characters to something surprising, added with intense woman empowered violence, comprehensive actions, hilarious and silly adults dialogues as well as unpredictable story line twisting have generated infectious laughter from the beginning till the end.

While McCarthy spreads her comic showcase extremely well, her screen time together with Rose Byrne are genuinely funny and impressive thanks to the compelling relationships crafted between both of them eventhough it's antagonistic in nature.

The film sounds ridiculous but the act of balancing the line between being a comedy and an action thriller that allow colorful characters development without any boundaries have overall qualified the film for another sequel.
