Waste of time
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
I really enjoyed it... All Kevin's movies are hilarious. Fantastic!!!
I enjoyed the entire movie. It has nice pacing, the humor is well done, the story is engaging and when you knock of off any thought of academy awards, this is well worth watching. I am sort of hoping they can fashion a sequel. I enjoy light comedy. I enjoy high drama. I enjoy art films. I enjoy them for what they are. This is action and light comedy. Once you understand that, this is fun.
This film tells the story of a man who struggles to write his first novel, which is about an assassin. When his book is released, his agent promoted his novel as a true story. Venezuelans abduct him and hence he gets involved in coups and assassination plans involving multiple fractions of the country.This is the first film I watched in 4K on my TV, and the picture quality is crystal clear. Yet, the mesmerising picture quality does not make up for the silly story. What happens in the story is very unrealistic and at times downright silly. However, there are a few moments when it is funny, such as the two CIA agents chatting in their office about the author. "True Memoirs of an International Assassin" is made to be a genuine brain-off entertainment.
An excellent comedy that stays consistent all the way through. What you see in the first 5 minutes is what you get throughout – with a few plot twists. Great acting, with all parts receiving their own dose of comedy. Was very relieved to see absolute lack of reverence – no serious stuff in here. No moral messages. No deep emotive relationships. Just good writing, good pace, totally entertaining. A great vehicle for Kevin James, who hams up this role with real comedic style. In some ways similar to Night and Day with Tom Cuise and Cameron Diaz, although more of a goofy guy comedy than a romantic one. If you enjoyed Night and Day, you'll very likely enjoy this one as well.
