Featured review
Johnny English Reborn is a comedy spy-thriller with Rowan Atkinson as inept secret agent versus a nasty organization called Vortex. It maintains the slapstick franchise including a good cast as Gillian Amstrong, Rosamund Pike, Dominic West and professionally directed by Oliver Parker. In his latest adventure, the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty's Secret Service is recruited by MI7 and must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English goes into the action. In the years since MI-7's top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier's life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, maladroit klutz Johnny English is back in action. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect us all. For Johnny English who stumbles through cases like a bull in a factory, disaster may be an option, but failure never is and he invariably and usually by accident manages to solves them.
Fun comedy spy-thriller in which Rowan Atkinson returns to the role of the accidental secret agent who doesn't know fear or danger. Amusing moments along with embarrassing in this first entry about ignorant secret agent Johnny English with a likable Rowan Atkinson, as he's a complete spectacle. This second installment is a passable and acceptable comedy because of the formula is well known with 'The Pink Panther' series and a shameless James Bond-spoof, a fun caricature of the world's most known spy. Bemusing screenplay by Hamish McColl based on the characters created by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, being inspired by a series of credit card television. It stars clumsy Rowan Atkinson as one man show accompanied by a sympathetic and fresh agent well played by Daniel Kaluuya.¨ Johnny English¨ release was the first part of series as the inept and bungler secret agent from MI-7, this following is a good sequel, intermittently hilarious, that results to be as good as the first. The movie gets entertaining and comical moments here and there. This slapstick picture contains amusing, funny scenes, fresh and diverting moments but also flaws and gaps. Rowan Atkinson steals the show parodying the ordinary international secret agent, James Bond-alike, including his ordinary faces, grimaces and gestures. Appears as secondaries some prestigious British/American actors as Dominic West, Gillian Armstrong, Richard Schiff, Isla Blair and Tim McInnerny as Patch Quartermain. The actors seem to enjoy themselves immensely giving funny interpretations. Lively and atmospheric Original Music by Ilan Eshkeri. Colorful and glimmer cinematography by Danny Cohen. The film was well directed by Oliver Parker (Portrait of Dorian Gray, Otelo, An ideal husband, Fade to black, The importance of being Ernest). Several chuckles and gags, the result of which is one acceptable second entry. Sit back and enjoy the show of Johnny doing what he does best a funny caricature.The flick will appeal to Rowan Atkinson fans who plays stunningly the highly unorthodox agent.
