Espionage Tonight (2017)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Didn't know what movie to watch so I came on IMDb and saw that this movie had a 7.8 rating. Story line seemed interesting. Started to watch it and after 25 minutes of pure boredom, I paused the film and came back here to read the reviews cause I didn't see nothing funny and the story was getting nowhere... This movie have only bad reviews...Don't understand the 7.8 rating. Don't watch this movie,it's a waist of you time.

Thomas (Joe Hursley) is a spy, or more accurate a special agent. The government sets up a reality TV show using him, some actors, and real bad guys to make a propaganda film to regain control of the Panama Canal from FARC rebels in Columbia. The show is unscripted.The plot was not cohesive. Joe Hursley is not an actor. Sean Astin was is usual great self, wasting his talent on this bomb. Greg Davis Jr.tried to come across like Kevin Hart a couple of times and what they really needed was Keven Hart as a reluctant lead. The film was designed to be funny, it just didn't come across that way.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The opening scene of this movie is shot in extra-shaky cam, with fake looking CGI blood and terrible attempts at comedy. For example the main character references his erect penis in the first 3 minutes of the movie in an unfunny attempt at humor, then later uses the blood of a guy who's been shot to make "war paint" stripes under his eye in an unfunny attempt at humor.So I figured this would be spy comedy (perhaps poorly done but still a comedy.) I was wrong.I watched the next 45 minutes in utter boredom. I connected with none of the characters. I found nothing funny. The plot of a reality show about spies ended up being wasted with a really boring script. I honestly don't even think I'm going to be able finish this one, it's that bad.Not recommended. This movie makes "Killing Gunther" seem good in comparison.

At the time of the review the movie is rated a 7 on IMDb, I think the rating was or done by the crew and actors or people were paid. I can't understand how Sean Astin went from Lord of the Rings to this B movie. Times must really be hard.The script and acting are just horrible, filming, music, pretty much everything is just wrong, you actually wonder who was even holding the camera during the shooting (i.e. someone with no experience at all or if they were still half drunk from the night before) as actors don't even fit in the frames most of the time. Avoid
