Are you ready for your next movie night? Look no further than the action-comedy Spy, now available for streaming on Netflix. Trust us, this is a film you won't want to miss.
The story follows Susan Cooper, a CIA desk worker who is unexpectedly thrown into the field after a major security breach exposes the identities of secret agents. With a mission to stop the sale of a nuclear bomb by hunting down Boyanov, Susan finds herself in some crazy and perilous situations. And as you can imagine, things don't go quite as planned in this hilarious comedy.
The film, released in 2015, boasts an all-star cast including Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Jude Law, and many other familiar faces. Despite being a few years old, it has recently gained a new wave of fans on Netflix and has quickly climbed to the top 10 films in the UK since its release on December 8th.
But it's not just fans who love this movie - critics have also given it a thumbs up. With a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it's clear that Spy has something for everyone. While some have noted that the spy element of the film could have been developed more, everyone agrees that it's a thrilling and laugh-out-loud comedy.
Alex Needham of The Guardian raved, "the audience howled so loudly that it was hard to hear some of the lines." And Eric D Snider of Movie Mezzanine praised the film's ability to be both a hilarious spoof and a straightforward action movie. Even Total Film's Emma Dibdin couldn't get enough, saying, "Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig’s third comedic collaboration builds on the genre-subverting smarts of Bridesmaids and The Heat in a deliriously funny dismantling of the spy movie."
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the film is seeing Jason Statham in a comedic role, rather than his usual tough-guy character. In one memorable scene, his character Rick Ford boasts about his heroic feats, including walking through fire and water-skiing blindfolded. It's just one example of the clever and witty jokes that fill the script.
But don't be fooled - Spy is more than just a spoof. It expertly weaves in elements from various genres, keeping the audience on their toes with twists and turns and even a heartwarming romantic storyline. So if you're tired of the usual Christmas movies, this could be the perfect choice for your weekend watch.
So why wait? Get your popcorn ready and settle in for a wild ride with Spy, now streaming on Netflix.
