Reviews

Despite its intriguing premise and exotic setting, 'The Spy' fails to deliver a compelling spy thriller, according to critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a measly 30% rating, criticizing the slow pace and lackluster performances. IMDb users rated it 4.0/10, with many citing the outdated spy tropes and predictable plot twists as major drawbacks. Metacritic's score of 45 also reflects the general consensus that 'The Spy' falls short of the mark when it comes to capturing the tension and excitement of the spy genre. Some viewers, however, appreciated the vintage charm and retro aesthetic of the film, finding it a nostalgic throwback to classic espionage cinema without the high-octane action of modern spy movies.
