About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, witty Cold War chase with a clever underdog outsmarting authority and a relaxed, feel-good tone; Not for you if you need high stakes, nonstop action, or big laughs like Trading Places.
Pros: witty dialogue; breezy spy comedy; globe-trotting fun | Cons: uneven humor; low sense of danger; can feel slow
