About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a goofy, self-aware mix of spy antics and action nostalgia, with plenty of jokes about fame; Not for you if you want a straight, serious thriller like Hanna.

Pros: big laughs; action-comedy throwback; self-mocking lead | Cons: uneven tone; weaker non-lead fights; repetitive episodes
