A desk-bound CIA analyst volunteers to go undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent diabolical global disaster.
Acting
McCarthy's range—vulnerable to vicious. Statham's self-parody is chef's kiss.
Writing
Feig's script lets women be gross, violent, and triumphant. Rare.
Stunts
Kitchen fight scene: McCarthy did most of it. Respect.

Director
Paul Feig
