Chris Pine and Tom Hardy play two CIA agents FDR and Tuck who end up falling for the same girl, Heather (played by Reese Weatherspoon). And despite having a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ that she won’t come between them, being in the CIA means that they have access to the technology to track and cause havoc with each other’s attempts to get the girl. But it’s not only between them that she comes between, buts ends up causing them to take their eye off their task of finding their target.
It’s not your typical spy movie. The basic story of fight for the lady’s hand is the main premise here and probably works with the idea that the pair are CIA agents. There is the comedy in watching the agents causing havoc in each others attempts. The side story of losing sight of their target is very much a back burner and not much being played to it which maybe would have been a bit more interesting to see it being weaved a bit more into the story rather than just a filler. It’s just about the right length (approx 90 mins) as it can’t really be pulled out longer than that.
So long as your not looking for too much in a film, then this is good to pass the time. Maybe one of those films that the trailer drowns the rest of the film.
Rating:3/5
