This hilarious spoof of the Israeli Mossad is part Peter
Sellers and part James Bond. From the
get-go, the whacky humour punctuated with penultimately funny one-liners gets you laughing at every second. Yet the plot is serious enough. A billionaire
tech dude is kidnapped by terrorists, so a handsome Mossad agent named Guy teams up with a less than perfect FBI agent. Sadly, the FBI guy gets fried in the
most noble of sacrificial ways right at belly body level. But all is not lost; he’s rebuilt like a Robocop wizard. The bungling duo has got to succeed in
their mission, or else the retiring director of the Mossad will ose his chance to light a torch in the
Independence Day torch-lighting ceremony. Such ridiculousness typifies the
entire series of events that combine exaggeration with comedic entertainment.
The beginning moves like an action packed low-budget nail
biter (but as a spoof). However, the movie sputters part way through, but still ends up befriending our silly bone in a refreshing way.
