RE: Sometimes a Geeky Guy Overlooks a Gem of a Movie

in #movies6 years ago (edited)

I figured out the identities of Jack the Ripper and The Zodiac Killer pretty painlessly, but this Rebecca Blunt problem has me stumped. Best guess, Soderbergh wrote it, but if so why hide it. :0

Daniel Craig was great, as Joe Bang, the second most wired, yet dopey, performance by a Brit this decade (Jason Statham's Rick Ford in "Spy" just pipped him to the post).

And yes, never smile, Kylo. Life's not funny any which way. Keep on keeping it real.

As you say, the key to a comedy heist movie is the plot, and where Oceans 8 seemed way too easy, and the characters far too self-congratulating, to be funny, this has enough hiccups and silliness to choke on.

Saw it in the theaters, and loved it. But then I don't have the privilege of having kids, so you win. :(

That is the first reference to Spy I have seen on this site. I LOVED that movie. Making Melissa McCarthy the smart one while Stratham was a bumbling fool looking for the Faceoff machine was a brilliant move!
