a5c7b9f00b Susan Cooper is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency's most dangerous missions. But when her partner falls off the grid and another top agent is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global crisis. A desk-bound CIA analyst volunteers to go undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent diabolical global disaster. Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is a desk-side assistant that assists super spy CIA operative Bradley Fine (Jude Law) from her computer monitor, providing him with instant life-saving updates. Yielding the full power of the United States Military Industrial Complex at her fingertips she is able to pull off numerous surprises to keep her agent alive in the field. However, Fine's luck will eventually run out when he enters a home where the CIA's best technology is snarled and inoperative. Bradley Fine is taken out of commission by Raina Boyanov (Rose Byrne) an aristocratic arms dealer with a flair for extravagance. Raina rambles off the names of the CIA's top agents and warns them to back-off. The stakes are extremely high because the agency is trying to recover a mobile nuclear device before it is sold into the hands of a terrorist organization that plan to set if off in New York City. This is when Susan Cooper will volunteer to become a field agent. The CIA director Elaine Crocker (Allison Janney) is reluctant but after viewing Susan's training videos from a decade before, she decides to give the operation a green light. However, Rick Ford (Jason Statham, the unlikely comic relief) is adamantly opposed to sending a woman into the field, especially a desk jockey. Rick Ford will continue throughout the film to essentially fill the role of a fool, however surprising for this is well-known action star. The CIA sends Susan to her first assignment in Paris, where the plot quickly thickens and things do not unravelplanned. It is not long before Susan is posingRaina's personal body guard (actually saving her life multiple times from various assassins). While in Rome the CIA pairs Susan with a reckless sleazy Italian agent, Peter Serafinowicz, who continually attempts to steal a kiss, but does not succeed. While in Rome the CIA also sends Nancy (Miranda Hart) another CIA desk assistant into the field to assist Susan. While in a nightclub to prevent from having her cover blown, Susan asks Nancy to create a diversion so Susan can prevent a meeting between an unnamed female beauty (Nargis Fakhri) and Raina. Nancy's diversion consists of an altercation with the rapper 50 Cent while he is performing on the stage. Meanwhile Susan battles the assassin Nargis Fakhri in the kitchen with knives, pans, and persistence. Shortly after this we find ourselves in Eastern Europe where all the surviving characters and a few others appear for one final showdown. Susan will once again prove herself a super-spy with some amazing gymnastics reminiscent of Kingsmen (a recent film that lacks a woman's perspective and went over the top with an eccentric plot). The world is saved once again and Rick Ford (Jason Statham) does not know that he is only boating on a lake, not the sea. My girlfriend and I took advantage of the KFC special with ice cream and entre and salad and had a great time watching Spy. Melissa is so good and talented. And Jason is a real man. Mmmmm delicious There is a giddy sense of glee that runs through most of this movie, making it feel like Feig can barely contain himself with all of the things he wants to do and show you in the movie.
