Review of 'The Spy Who Dumped Me'

Much more fun that I was expecting! Some of the reviews complain that the film tries to cross too many genres...spy movie, thriller, romcom, buddy movie...but actually it makes a good job of this. The action scenes are better than the ones in James Bond films, the plot is a bit shaky but no worse than other spy/terrorist-baddies films. I was reminded of 'Salting the Battlefield', only this is way better and makes more sense. And unlike other Americans-go-to-Europe films, it has chosen some good locations and filmed them well. I especially liked the opening scenes in a junk market in Lithuania, and it really made me want to go there.

Watched on All4.
