IT’S SPY AGAINST SPY.
CIA agents and best friends FDR Foster and Tuck Hansen (Chris Pine, Tom Hardy) start dating the same woman (Reese Witherspoon) without realizing it and soon turn it into a mindless contest. McG returns to Charlie’s Angels territory with this romantic action-comedy, but he should have moved on. The cartoonish shootouts, fistfights and car chases are good for a few thrills. Pine and Hardy give it their best shot as the handsome and very competitive spies, but the film needs a far lighter touch (and better jokes) than McG and his crew are able to deliver.
