Spy (2015)

FILM4, 9.00PM ★★★

Melissa Mccarthy’s bid to be 008 is a feminist action-comedy spoof of the least feminist genre in film. She plays a CIA analyst, who’s given a mission of her own – and all of a sudden her inner secret agent is unleashed. Without reaching the heights of Bridesmaids, this Mccarthy vehicle chugs along entertainingly thanks to her killer comic timing and the witty use of Jason Statham as meathead operative.
