Starring: Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, and Reese Witherspoon
Directed by: McG
Screenplay by: Timothy Dowling and Simon Kinberg
It's another one of those love triangle movies. Except this time, it's not just man vs. man, it's spy vs. spy.
Two CIA agents are looking for love. So when they both fall upon the same girl, what are they going to do? They both want her, and they're both friends, but only one of them can have her. Who's it going to be?
They're both spying on each other once they find out they have the same girlfriend. Could this potentially destroy their friendship?
Something tells me that this storyline just isn't that original. Yes, it's a romance mashed together with a spy movie, and for the most part both genres do each other justice in this film. However, there's a whole lot of the two agents spying on each other, and not a whole lot of romance. There's also a second operation the spies are involved in. My problem with it is that if they're going to put a secondary storyline in, it needs to be a slightly bigger part of the movie than it is in this film. It's cool that they put this larger operation in, but it should have either been more developed, or just taken out completely. It's 100% irrelevant to the movie and just makes it longer than it needs to be.
The film will keep you guessing who is going to end up with the girl at the end of the movie. It's never obvious and there are no hints. This I like. It would be extremely boring otherwise.
There really isn't a whole lot I can say about the movie. It's entertaining for just about everyone. The violence is minimal, and so is the romance. It is quite funny though. I can't say that I would recommend it. It's just another average movie.
I give this film a C+.
