Spy

2011 · 110 min

A muddled low-budget thriller that trades on mob menace and paranoia but rarely grips, feeling talky and uneven.

Overview: SPYING TURNS TO SECURITY DETAIL AS A YOUNG COUPLE AVOIDS MURDER, THE MOB, AND THE PAST. Human cloning, surveillance, and a life threatening relationship take center stage in this romantic thriller. Re-Released in the fall of 2012, SPY tells the story of Dante LeClair (Vincent Pastore) who was forced by mob boss (Frank Vincent) to fund illegal and unethical medical experiments after his daughter Susan (Lora Kojovic) was injured.
How it feels: Tense, dark, melancholic and romantic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, conspiracy, betrayal, love
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
