Spy

Melissa McCarthy stars in Spy, a movie following Susan Cooper (McCarthy), a woman who helps CIA covert operations from the basement, where she directs Bradley Fine (Jude Law) during his covert ops. Fine is killed by a mystery woman "Reyna", played brilliantly by Rose Byrne. This prompts Susan to jump into the field and try to find Reyna and a stolen nuclear weapon. Jason Statham jumps in as a Rick Ford, another CIA agent in the field. There's some funny stuff, but the movie struggles in my opinion since I'm not much of a McCarthy fan. The action scenes they do an alright job of piecing together since McCarthy is obviously limited when it comes to stunts and action. The comedy is pretty good at times and the story isn't terrible, though you've certainly seen it before. Byrne and Statham are good in their roles, Law & McCarthy are pretty much their standard roles. Bottom Line: 6.2 out of 10. I enjoyed it at times, but the story seemed to just drag and bore me.
