A chaotic case of mistaken identity throws a hapless civilian into a whirlwind of international espionage alongside a notoriously ruthless assassin. This action-comedy doesn’t rely on intricate plotting, but instead embraces a relentless stream of escalating, slapstick-infused violence born from the improbable partnership. The humor stems from the stark contrast between the seasoned professional's deadpan efficiency and the civilian’s panicked ineptitude as they navigate a conspiracy involving a menacing dictator. While intentionally leaning into predictable tropes, the film offers pure, escapist entertainment focused on the physical comedy and the unlikely begrudging respect that develops between the two leads amidst the mayhem. It’s a buoyant, lighthearted romp that playfully subverts the expectations of the assassin genre, prioritizing laughs over gritty realism.
