20 August 2017. Cedric the Entertainer is no Geena Davis nor Kevin James in this comedic espionage action thriller. Geena Davis played a housewife with amnesia in The Longest Kiss Goodnight (1997) while more recently Kevin James played a wannabe author in True Memoirs of an International Assassin (2016), both comedy action movies involving spies and espionage. While Lucy Liu from Charlie's Angels (2000), Ballistics: Ecks and Sever (2002), and Cypher (2002) brings her confident, sparkly, pixy performance, Cedric keeps the over the top montage, the leftover of dumb slapstick of Peter Seller and Jerry Lewis (who recently passed away). But even Lucy Lui has seen better scripts than her's in this movie. The storyline isn't nothing special and the performances are average.
