Spies in Disguise

Every once in a while it doesn't hurt to watch an animated film and Spies in Disguise is a winner (in fact, this may be the most I enjoyed an animated film since Zootropolis). The opening scene when agent Will Smith slaughters the entire Yakuza using spy gadgets is a blast and the line where he turns into a pigeon works too. The film has great visuals, a cool cadence of humor, good action, a great villain, working emotions, and most importantly a lot of original spy gadgets. Super fun for adults too.

Spies in Disguise doesn't offer anything particularly innovative in terms of the basic agent vs. villain storyline, but it does have a few original screenwriting ideas up its sleeve that certainly deserve attention. We simply haven't had an agent turned into a pigeon with a sidekick craving for cutely innocuous weapons. The film features more than one humorous scene, like the sequence with the pigeon squadron or the disarming of Kimura, and thanks to the characters of the agents and villains, it has an action-packed pace, so it passes nicely in the cinema. In the end, it would have been a weaker four stars, but it's because of the few offbeat ideas that I'll give it a raise in this case. (19/01/2020)
