Do yourself a favor and stop watching once Dua Lipa leaves the scene after ten minutes. She is great. After that you get Bryce Dallas Howard. She is terrible. Her cat is great, which makes herself even more terrible. Spy films with female leads usually make an effort to be a little believable, like Charlize Theron in "Atomic Blonde" or Jennifer Lawrence in "Red Sparrow". Silly films but these two made it work. Bryce Dallas Howard doesn't make it work because she is too old and did not exercise. Dua Lipa obviously does, so one cannot help but wonder why she did not get the lead. Or some other fit 28 year old instead of an unfit 43 year old. Sam Rockwell is even worse since he's 55, they might as well have gone with Bruce Willis. Even an action parody requires a smidge of credibility. This is a joke without a punchline. I give it two stars for Dua Lipa and the cat. For those of you who want to watch a silly spy film that actually entertains, I recommend "The Man from U. N. C. L. E." by Guy Ritchie, also starring Henry Cavill, with a much nicer haircut and even nicer suits. Ritchie has also released the Netflix version of "The Gentlemen", which stars a significantly sexier Theo James and has an infinitely better script.
