THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME (15)
JAMES BOND and other chauvinistic dinosaurs of the globe-trotting spy game have nothing to fear from The Spy Who Dumped Me.
This action-packed adventure borrows a few crowd-pleasing moves from female-centric capers The Heat and Spy to ensnare two hopelessly unprepared gal pals in a web of intrigue.
Supermarket cashier Audrey Stockton (Mila Kunis) meets Drew Thayer (Justin Theroux) in a bar on her birthday and sparks fly.
Their whirlwind romance ends abruptly with Drew dumping Audrey by text.
She seeks solace in the company of best friend Morgan (Kate McKinnon) who recommends that Audrey cleanse herself of Drew by burning his belongings.
Before the first squirt of lighter fluid, Drew re-establishes contact.
He reveals that he is an undercover CIA operative and had to terminate the relationship with Audrey because the criminal fraternity was prepared to hurt her to get to him.
Audrey is touched until bullets fly and she goes on the run with Morgan and a USB flash drive encrypted with details of a terrorist network’s diabolical plans.
As Audrey and Morgan learn about Drew’s past, they untangle a global conspiracy and become targets for an assassin (Ivanna Sakhno).
Directed and co-written by Susanna Fogel, The Spy Who Dumped Me promotes girl power with every predictable twist and turn.
