In the film’s rollicking, high-stakes opening, you have a minute to contemplate how entertaining Jude Law might have been as a glamorous 007. Filled with chases, showdowns, and improbable escapes, this movie derives its charm from every ingredient being just a little off. Spy riffs on the glamour and jeopardy of globetrotting adventures. The tension crackles and the audience cackles as the CIA strives to derail the sale of an ultra-portable, terrorist-ready nuclear device. Unlike his borderline-insane buddy-cop farce The Heat (13), Feig’s espionage comedy hurtles along like a real action film.
