Director: Betty Thomas
Genres: Spy Film, Comedy
Rating:
Yet another classic television series from the 1960s gets a big-screen update in this action-comedy inspired by the Bill_Cosby/Robert_Culp vehicle I_Spy. Alex Scott (Owen_Wilson) is a federal intelligence agent who has been assigned to find a particularly expensive and valuable weapon which has gone missing: a special stealth fighter jet which can not only hide from radar, but also turn invisible to the human eye. Scott learns a rogue agent has sold the jet to Gundars (Malcolm McDowell), a powerful and unscrupulous underground arms dealer. After blowing his opportunity to catch Gundars in the act, Scott formulates a Plan B -- it seems Gundars is a rabid boxing fan, so in order to get inside his organization, Scott recruits Kelly Robinson (Eddie_Murphy), a longtime middleweight champion whose ego nearly exceeds his talent in the ring. Robinson is excited by the prospect of a life of espionage, but Scott and Robinson's personalities are like oil and water, and matters are hardly helped by the efforts of less-than-helpful fellow agents Rachel (Famke_Janssen) and Carlos (Gary_Cole). This adaptation of I_Spy was directed by a woman who starred in a memorable television series herself, former Hill_Street_Blues regular Betty_Thomas, who has gone on to a successful career behind the camera.
