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.

Grab some popcorn and have some fun. This is a medium lower budget flick that is not a 'joke' of a movie. There is some action, some comedy that was put together well enough to actually watch.

For its moderately lower budget, its worth a watch and I rate it a 5.

Parodies are never works of art. That being said, if you have seen a lot of Spy-movies you will like (like, not love) this one.

It is not over the top like Leslie Nielsen or Mel Brooks, it stays closer to being real. I loved how the main character is super-confident all the time, the load of gadgets and how every idiotic situation is taken seriously.

Actually pretty decent fighting scenes.

Of course the dialogues could be better. Also a lot of fast talking so unintelligible from time to time. Perhaps too many characters who looked alike, rather confusing.

But if you are up for some fun and don't mind too much it is not always professional give it a go, trust me ;-)

Let's be honest, this movie was made PURELY as a JOKE! Nothing in this movie can be taken seriously and I am sure that was the point. They just wanted this movie to be as bad as it possibly could just to get some laughs. That being said, the action parts were good, the audio in some parts was just awful! And they get kudos for originality! I loved the phone that could do it all, that was very cool. So if you have nothing better to watch and love spy movies, this was like the spy version of "Not Another Teen Movie". I have honestly seen worse and at least this one was half good so it gets an honest 5 from me. Wish they had got a sexier spy though, the guy felt too old for the laughs they were trying to get. Worth a one time watch and I would recommend if nothing else catches your attention.

I wasn't familiar with any of the cast in this, however, that's not a bad thing. I wasn't sure what to expect from this move, apart from "Action, Comedy, Romance". Most of it was acted well enough, however, the story felt a little "I will try this and see how it works". There wasn't enough Action or Comedy, the potential was there though. Perhaps the director (Corey Pearson) will get more confident with experience. I would recommend this.
