The Spy Who Never Dies

Grab some popcorn and have some fun. This is a medium lower budget flick that is not a 'joke' of a movie. There is some action, some comedy that was put together well enough to actually watch.

For its moderately lower budget, its worth a watch and I rate it a 5.

Let's be honest, this movie was made PURELY as a JOKE! Nothing in this movie can be taken seriously and I am sure that was the point. They just wanted this movie to be as bad as it possibly could just to get some laughs. That being said, the action parts were good, the audio in some parts was just awful! And they get kudos for originality! I loved the phone that could do it all, that was very cool. So if you have nothing better to watch and love spy movies, this was like the spy version of "Not Another Teen Movie". I have honestly seen worse and at least this one was half good so it gets an honest 5 from me. Wish they had got a sexier spy though, the guy felt too old for the laughs they were trying to get. Worth a one time watch and I would recommend if nothing else catches your attention.

This movie is a good six or seven stars. The direction, acting, camera angles and writing was great. Now there was some things that were BEE-yond BEE-liveable, but it was fun movie. Assassins' where funny and the I couldn't stop laughing about the big load. If you have time to kill and you like well done campy movies. Then this is the one for you.

I wasn't familiar with any of the cast in this, however, that's not a bad thing. I wasn't sure what to expect from this move, apart from "Action, Comedy, Romance". Most of it was acted well enough, however, the story felt a little "I will try this and see how it works". There wasn't enough Action or Comedy, the potential was there though. Perhaps the director (Corey Pearson) will get more confident with experience. I would recommend this.

As I sat down to watch the 2022 action comedy "The Spy Who Never Dies", I must admit that I was expecting a bit more than what writer and director Corey Pearson actually managed to deliver here. Sure, I hadn't heard about the movie prior to watching it, but the movie's cover/poster and synopsis seemed interesting enough. And action comedies with a spy theme has been good in the past, so I figured why not.

"The Spy Who Never Dies" felt like a missed opportunity, because there was next to no comedy throughout the course of the movie. And that was a shame, because there were definitely lots of opportunity to incorporate comedy situations into the storyline. And the movie never really goes full out into action mode either, so you are left with a somewhat watered down action movie.

The movie has good performances from its cast ensemble, despite of the script and storyline not actually being the best of source material. I wasn't familiar with the cast in the movie, but I liked and enjoyed their performances. Especially Hafedh Dakhlaoui (playing The Dog Walker) and Ana Thu Nguyen (playing Lollypop) stood out as the most memorable of characters and performances.

There is a good pacing to the storyline and a fair amount of action actually. But without an overly entertaining storyline, then there was just so much that it could do for the movie.

My rating of "The Spy Who Never Dies" lands on a four out of ten stars.
