Audience Member James Bond knock off! Graphics were cheap. Especially the little ones like the cut and paste job on the ‘family’ picture of Diaz and Close. And the AI plane crash. Story was a little lame and the characters were a tad annoying especially the ‘grandad’. The plot was a rip off of every single spy movie 🍿 especially Knight and Day. But it wasn’t bad either it’s worth a watch. Jamie Foxx was good but the aircraft scene was totally unbelievable and ridiculous. The plot wasn’t terrible. The kids played their parts well. The scenes shot on The Thames were a mess because you could see a lot of them were shot in the studio which was disappointing. Overall it probably went way over budget. Definitely one for kids 12+ Not bad. Hats off to the stunt team who made the movie! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review K G Glen Close and her toyboy were the highlight. Everything else was predictable and derivative. Cameron and Jamie can deliver a script like this in their sleep. Not a bad family Saturday night flick. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Sergio C Muy entretenida y divertida Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Keith T Cameron Diaz makes another version of Charlie's Angels, Night and Day etc. etc. and just about gets away with it. High art it isn't! The kids are predictably annoying and frankly, who cares about what happens to them. Glenn Close should sue her agent for her woeful miscasting as a BRITISH pantomime dame, the role she was born to ignore and run away from. Jamie Demitriou is excruiatingly embarassed by his role as Grandmothers favoured sex object / nerd MI6 wannabe - go let some flats Stath! Meanwhile Andrew Scott is ambiguous in the background - I htink his motivation is that he wants to shag Cameron but clearly, that's not his thing, so... Oh, and it's clearly set up for a sequel, God help us. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Kikki G Great to see Cameron Diaz back on the screen. It was fast paced, stunt driven adventure, great comedic timing between Foxx and Diaz and well acted. A breath of fresh air. Nothing more, nothing less and sometimes we need that type of fun escape in a movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Butterfly M As a mom who understands family and loves action movies, this movie is a must see! Tons of action and lots of family Dynamics in a hilarious way. The plot was exciting. The actors did a phenomenal job in this movie. I don't think anyone else could have pulled this movie off the way Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz has. This is a must-see movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
