Spy (2015)
Directed by Jason Statham as Rick Ford
Melissa McCarthy linking arms with Jason Statham in Spy
Spy was a hilarious espionage crime comedy that saw Melissa McCarthy portray a 40-year-old, single, desk-bound CIA analyst who breaks out of her boring day-to-day existence to become an actual spy. With a story about retrieving a stolen portable nuclear device, writer-director Paul Feig got plenty of laughs out of this well-worn concept and showcased Jason Statham’s seldom-appreciated comedic talents. As Rick Ford, Statham played a grizzled CIA operative who believes himself to be flawless while he’s the one constantly making mistakes.
One of the most impressive things about Spy was the way that Statham leaned into his action hero persona for maximum comedic effect and it was enjoyable to watch him make fun of himself in this manner. Spy has plenty of potential for a sequel and Feig even said in 2015 that he had started writing one (via Guardian.) While this has yet to materialize, it would be incredible to see Statham reprise this uniquely hilarious character.
