     Ahh. Remember the good old days of spy movies? Remember when Sean Connery was James Bond? Now there was a spy! He had it all: he had the looks, the cars, the weapons, and if he said “sit” you thought he said something nasty. Yep, he was a spy, all right. Now, take a moment to consider who his complete opposite would be: Loud, Crass, ANNOYING. No, thankfully no one made a spy movie with Rosanne. They made one with Chris Rock, who as a spy leaves a lot to be desired, doing nothing but complaining and whining to his superior, Anthony Hopkins, who gives the only performance worth anything in this thrown together mess. The plot goes as follows: Rock is Jake Hays, a street-smart ticket scalper who needs to go undercover as his twin brother, a CIA operative in the middle of a huge deal that could hold the lives of thousands in the balance. In comes Hopkins to train him for the mission, and just maybe help him straighten out his life along the way. The film is okay as far as the action goes, but if you’re looking for a good comedy, just pass this one by. Go on.
