Spy

I look like someone’s homophobic aunt!
01 September 2019

Long, but still funny, and one of the better spy comedies out there.

The biggest surprise is Jason Statham’s gift for comedy. He’s self-aware enough to get laughs but not so all-knowing that he breaks the fourth wall or tries to get the audience on his side.

Having someone with his crazy intensity be a constant punchline only makes the film funnier, and they were lucky to have him on board.
