Overview
About the Film
Spy is a 2015 American action comedy directed by Paul Feig. Melissa McCarthy stars as Susan Cooper, a talented but desk-bound CIA analyst who has spent her career providing intelligence support through an earpiece to the suave but careless agent Bradley Fine, played by Jude Law. When Fine and every other known field agent's identity is compromised, Susan volunteers for her first field assignment to track a nuclear weapon being sold by Rayna Boyanov, played by Rose Byrne, the glamorous daughter of an arms dealer.
Melissa McCarthy's performance demolished the expectations established by her cover identities — assigned deliberately frumpy disguises by the agency, Susan's actual competence, fighting skill, and quick thinking proved her the CIA's most effective field agent. Jason Statham's Rick Ford, a supposedly elite agent who boasts about absurdly impossible past missions while consistently bungling everything, was a scene-stealing comedic creation. Spy earned $235 million worldwide on a $65 million budget.
