" Feig and McCarthy jumping back to form in this very funny action film"

After working together on the female buddy cop comedy The Heat and the mega popular Bridesmaids, Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy reunite for this action comedy before working together on Ghostbusters 3.

Susan Cooper (McCarthy) is an unassuming, desk-bound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency's most dangerous missions. But when her partner Bradley Fine (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent Rick Ford (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer and prevent a global disaster.

This film has everything. It’s a smart, laugh-out-load action comedy with McCarthy, Law and Statham putting in great performances. It’s also good to see her back on form after the disappointing Tammy and Identity Thief.

With the likes of Law playing the dashing CIA Agent Fine, this movie will get some James Bond comparisons and even though there are moments which could be classed as parody, there is enough to make it stand alone. Speaking of Law, he really is loving his James Bond moment.

Even though Cooper is great at her job, she’s middle-aged and McCarthy brings that issue to the forefront, mocking how society sees older women in a smart and funny way and this is highlighted where Cooper and friend/colleague Nancy (Miranda Hart) complain about the bar service.

The ironic thing is, minus McCarthy, the women in this movie are one note and this can be seen when you meet the villain, Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne), who just plays a one dimensional baddie.

You forgive this setback as Statham steals the show as Ford, who’s basically a stereotypical ‘Jason Statham character’ and after a long line of terrible British gangster film, he realised how ridiculous that character is by delivering one lines so funny the audience howl so loudly it was actually hard to hear some of them!

Statham steals the film every time he’s on screen, with Feig and McCarthy jumping back to form in this very funny action film.
