Featured review
Was a decent parody of typical spy films and has a few laughs. Jason Statham was definitely my favourite part, often making fun of characters he has played before. This genuinely made me laugh quite a few times.
Rose Byrne as one of the villains was great as well. Overall the acting was quite good from everyone, nobody ruined any parts of the film with their performances. Some of the cinematography was good, nothing phenomenal though. However, some jokes did fall flat or were just over used. The film does try to parody spy films but ends up sticking to common tropes instead of commenting on them. I would think adding more commentary on these tropes would add to the comedic tone and maybe give more heart to it. But not every film needs to do this, definitely give it a chance, you may be surprised!

- TriviaScreenwriter Paul Feig, who once was an aspiring stuntman himself, is a fan of Jason Statham's action movies. Feig tailored Statham's Rick Ford character in the film especially for the actor to play.
- GoofsWhen Susan Cooper steals a moped she is wearing black stilettos. However when she tries to jump from the ramp and the moped lands in the bed of wet concrete the camera angle from the waist down shows she is wearing a pair of flat black shoes obviously indicating where the stunt performer has been substituted for Melissa McCarthy. As the camera cuts back to a medium shot of McCarthy driving through the concrete the stiletto's then reappear.
