My Spy is an action comedy starring Dave Bautista, Chloe Coleman and Parisa Fitz-Henley. JJ, played but Bautista, is a hardened CIA agent on his last straw with the agency. When he is assigned to surveil a family in Chicago his cover is blown by a 9 year old girl who blackmails him into training her to be a spy. While at her mercy he begins to learn not only more about those he’s sworn to protect but also more about himself.
I thought that the plot was fun, easy to follow but very predictable from almost the beginning.
I really enjoyed the acting from the entire cast. Bautista was a strong, hilarious and very entertaining lead but doesn’t bring a lot of range. Chloe Coleman who played Sophie surprisingly brought most of the funny and charisma. She was such a good actor, full of wit and sass and did a great job co-starting with such a big presence like Bautista. Coleman along with Parisa Fitz-Henley, who played her mother, were relatively unknown actors to me and I thought that they both did a great job in their respective roles.
This film was full of heart, had great themes about not being afraid to start again and make new memories, defending the ones you care about, and being your authentic self. I thought that it was one of the funnier ones I’ve seen all year and would recommend that everyone check this one out if you are looking for a good laugh.
