Paul Fig's comedy "Spy" is not the first, but one of the most successful parodies of spy movies. The picture can safely boast of many truly objective virtues, from relentless action, similar to choreography, to a brilliant ensemble cast. In the film "Spy" the actors of the first plan are all like one Hollywood star of the first magnitude. Moreover, they agreed to act in films not only thanks to the declared decent fees, they were attracted by an extraordinary script and the personality of the director. Paul Fig acts in this project in three guises: director, screenwriter and co-producer. In terms of the number of stars involved with the work of the Fig, only the film "Spy Kids 3" (actors: Sylvester Stallone, Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas Danny Trejo, Alan Cumming and others) could argue.

A daring challenge to society

Paul Fig is reputed to be one of the few creators of the film industry who allows women to shine in comedies. The director discards all sorts of political aspects, confrontations between systems and governments, terrorist organizations - he uses all of the above as an insignificant entourage in the project"Spy". Actors and roles in the film are perfectly matched to each other, and, despite the fact that handsome Jason Statham and Jude Law flaunt on the poster, they played colorful, but secondary characters. In the foreground, the author's favorite, Melissa McCarthy, is a film actress whose texture least of all corresponds to the generally accepted image of a spy. Perhaps the comedy, given this fact, should have been called "Spy", and not "Spy". The actors involved in the work on the project emphasized that director Paul Fig once again threw down a daring challenge to society, which treats overweight women as invisible. At the same time, the director masterfully ridiculed the canons of spy films in which alpha males shine in the foreground.

Storyline

The comedy "Spy", whose actors and roles are sure to be remembered by the viewer, has a fascinating plot. The story begins with the fact that the handsome superspy Bradley Fine (Jude Law) destroys the main villain during the mission and seems to die himself, and the cherished suitcase with a nuclear charge ends up in the hands of the daughter of the defeated enemy Raina Boyanova (Rose Byrne). Another agent, Rick Ford (Jason Statham), is unable to cope with the task due to an unstable emotional state. Then the CIA employee Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy), accustomed to being unnoticed before, gets a chance to become a real combat agent and complete a failed mission. This is a brief synopsis of the movie "Spy". The actors who played the roles of the central characters noted the positive atmosphere that prevailed on the set during the filmingprocess. Fortunately, the entire cast of the film had enviable self-irony and sufficient self-respect.

Acting ensemble picture

The main character of the film, Susan Cooper, was embodied on the screen by one of the most sought-after comedy actresses in Hollywood, Melissa McCarthy. She has recently been considered the key to the success of any film in which she plays. The actress is not afraid to act with either the perfect Sandra Bullock or Bill Murray. McCarthy is aware that for ladies who watch this or that film with her participation, the problems of her heroines will be closer and more understandable than those that excite exemplary divas of the Dream Factory with the appearance and texture of a Barbie doll. The actors of the film "Spy" were fascinated by her positivity, professionalism and goodwill. The entire film crew of the picture was thrilled by how McCarthy, in the image of Susan Cooper, de alt with the perfect Bond (Low's character) and the hero of Jason Statham. The latter, by the way, demonstrated a brilliant comic talent.

Variety and film stars

In addition to the listed stars in the movie, there are Rose Byrne as an antagonist, Allison Janney as the head of the CIA and Miranda Hart, who periodically competes with Cooper in the ability to get into ridiculous situations. Rapper 50 Cent also played an interesting character in the comedy Spy. The actors of the Dream Factory were shocked by the appearance of our Verka Serduchka in the frame, performing the unsinkable Dancing Lasha Tumbai. Many domestic film critics saw a hidden author's hint in the appearance of Andrei Danilkothat the proven way for a man to survive in show business is to pretend to be a woman.
