Not usually a big Jennifer Lawrence fan but she did great in this one. This spy thriller was well done all around. Not as much action as some but it held it's own. The actors all did well and the story played out with plenty if twists and turns. Overall very entertaining and keeps the interest throughout. Worth a watch!

Not bad!!
Not a bad reboot to be fair!

Nice up-to-date well picked actors, only thing that got me is the new soon to be angel wasn't all that phased that these spy girls have come and her life is endangered. But apart from that brilliant film plenty of action and plenty of comedy, definitely worth the watch!

Awesome documentary about the work of Jamal Khashoggi. It explores the investigation into his murder, the people he touched, and the spy work involved in tracking him and protecting those involved. In 2018, a number of Republicans were pushing for sanctions which President Trump rejected for economic reasons. Two years later, many of those congressmen sided with Trump in the 2020 Election Controversy.

Style over substance?
This is basically a slightly above average spy film - given the above average rating solely based on the killer soundtrack and great action scenes. Charlize Theron makes a pretty good kick ass action star. However the plot itself is a bit confusing at times, drags quite a lot and seems to have almost been pushed to the background in favour of the stylish music and fight scenes. The basic premise as well is sadly lacking in originality, it's so similar to numerous other spy films just with a cool 80s setting. It does however have a great supporting cast, but James McAvoy has been massively underused in this as he's a fantastic actor and needed more screen time. The ending was alright though, just a shame it took so long to get there.
