The Spy Who Never Dies

There are two ways of viewing this film.

If you want a hot action movie with a great story - you won't like this!

If you are looking for some far from serious fun and a complete micky-take of the 007 genre - you will enjoy this!

Money has been spent on the cgi and there is a bevy of beauties with good action throughout. It ain't going to win an Oscar but if you are in the right frame of mind, it is 100 minutes of frivolous entertainment that is quite amusing in places. Best served with large quantities of (Australian) beer and hot wings.

This movie is chock-full with outstandingly beautiful women. Pretty much every scene has one or more of them in it. Their acting is ok. Other than that, it's silly and lenghty. They tried hard though, so...yeah. Still, no more than a watch on a rainy, lonely sunday morning, before getting outa bed. The jokes are either copied or plain lame. Thats about it. Except for the girls. The girls are just a bucket full of sexy.

As I sat down to watch the 2022 action comedy "The Spy Who Never Dies", I must admit that I was expecting a bit more than what writer and director Corey Pearson actually managed to deliver here. Sure, I hadn't heard about the movie prior to watching it, but the movie's cover/poster and synopsis seemed interesting enough. And action comedies with a spy theme has been good in the past, so I figured why not.

"The Spy Who Never Dies" felt like a missed opportunity, because there was next to no comedy throughout the course of the movie. And that was a shame, because there were definitely lots of opportunity to incorporate comedy situations into the storyline. And the movie never really goes full out into action mode either, so you are left with a somewhat watered down action movie.

The movie has good performances from its cast ensemble, despite of the script and storyline not actually being the best of source material. I wasn't familiar with the cast in the movie, but I liked and enjoyed their performances. Especially Hafedh Dakhlaoui (playing The Dog Walker) and Ana Thu Nguyen (playing Lollypop) stood out as the most memorable of characters and performances.

There is a good pacing to the storyline and a fair amount of action actually. But without an overly entertaining storyline, then there was just so much that it could do for the movie.

My rating of "The Spy Who Never Dies" lands on a four out of ten stars.

This movie is a good six or seven stars. The direction, acting, camera angles and writing was great. Now there was some things that were BEE-yond BEE-liveable, but it was fun movie. Assassins' where funny and the I couldn't stop laughing about the big load. If you have time to kill and you like well done campy movies. Then this is the one for you.

Action rom-coms rarely get good ratings since the comedy part always makes the movie seems stupid. But at least it's pretty funny, so if you're looking to kill some time, this will keep you entertained for a certain amount of time. Takes your mind off anything you don't wanna be thinking. I give this one a 6, cause I see the production value and cinematography aren't too shabby. At least it doesn't look as bad as indie movies. So in my opinion, giving this movie ratings below 6 is just a douche-move. Some people have worked hard making this movie, you know? Give them the appreciation they deserve.
