Reviews
|
Uproxx -
The film doesn’t try to alter Berg’s most essential quality, that he was a mystery.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
This is a very enjoyable middle-of-the-road adventure, especially for moviegoers willing to see just about anything starring Rudd.
|
|
The Film Stage -
Where Spy succeeds the most is in the first half. Rudd is top-notch, playing Berg as a tragic sort jailed in his own mind, internally fighting and assimilating to a world that cannot accept him.
|
|
Movie Nation -
The movie is imminently watchable, and the surface sheen is fine, but the real Berg remains more mystery than man with a mission.
|
|
The Guardian -
The film isn’t a home run, but with Rudd in the lead in something so out of the ordinary for him, it’s fair to call a ground rule double.
