I-SPY - 2003
Superstar Eddie Murphy (the nutty professor) teams up with Owen Wilson (Zoolander, Behind enemy lines) for a hilarious, action packed thrill ride. Famke Janssen (X-Men, Goldereye) also stars as an ultra-sexy secret agent.
A super-powerful experimental spy plane is stolen by an evil arms dealer and is about to be handed over to an international terrorist. The U.S. Government drafts an egotistical boxing star (Murphy) to join a suave special agent (Wilson) on a dangerous top-secret mission to get the plane back. Armed with the latest high tech gadgets and a whole lot of attitude, this ultimate odd couple might be able to save the world - that is if they can just get along.
Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, great combination! I laughed my ass off. Even if this is a re-make of an old movie it was well done. Comedy fills this film and works wonderfully with the plot. Owen has always been great at playing the "dumb" or "clumsy" part. Eddie was excited to play the boxer as he used to box before he got into acting. He is also good at playing the egotist. Although it is fiction it gives a funny view into the lives of super spies. This film would be a great addition to anyone's film library being rated only pg-13. It's no secret this film is a 4 out of 5 tankards.
