This was a joke, right? Right??????????????

Rating: 4/10 (4 September 2005)

Given the plot, two people are married, they just both happen to be spies, they are then both told to go and kill each other, you would think that this would be a pretty cheesy comedy film with a little bit of action blended in. Well, to say the least, this film is to action packed for its own good. There is just little dabs of dry humor placed threw out. Nothing to special. Something to make you chuckle a bit. Sadly this small chuckle is the highlight of the film. The action out weighs the comedy by leaps and bounds, and like most action films these days, it just keeps on going and going, and doesn't know when to stop until the whole film ends up dragging. The real kicker is the one spy is a clear Charlie's Angles knock off. From the scantly clad cloths, to the unknown man giving off orders to the army of women spies. This is so painfully cheesy that you would think it would have to be funny, but surprisingly they never bring up the fact that it's a joke and just kind of treat it seriously. When you have a cheesy element you should treat it as such, or else everyone is just going to see it as some kind of cliché.
Oh, and here's the best part. Right here. Spoilers! The two heroes somehow topple the entire government/spy system that is after them. This is just to painful to believe. In other films like, The Bourne Identity the government covered up what had happened and cut their losses and then let Bourne live. Bourne didn't actually beat them. You can't beat them! Their the government! They control everything in these spy films! They can shove endless amounts of men down your throat. The idea of someone beating them is just so painfully dumb that it boggles the mind. This is the first ever film that I've seen to pull such a bad idea. Hopefully it will be the last.
So, this film was a joke, and should have been treated that way.
4 out of 10 Go see True Lies instead
