‘My Spy: The Eternal City’ Review: Dave Bautista Anchors a Kiddie Espionage Caper That’s Too Generic to Fly
In this sequel to "My Spy," Chloe Coleman's spy kid is now 14, but the movie is stuck in cliché thriller tropes.
Dave Bautista ’s JJ, a former Special Forces soldier turned CIA operative, is on a private plane, where he’s playing bodyguard to a teen idol named Ryan (Bill Barratt). As she’s poised in a YA triangle between selfish dreamboat Ryan and earnest nerd Collin (Taeho K), JJ just happens to have a run-in with a gang of baddies presided over by Nancy, an oligarch’s moll played by Anna Faris in wet-look platinum hair and magenta lipstick and racoon eyeshadow. That sounds serious, but “My Spy: The Eternal City” is a movie in which Ken Jeong, with his meta flakiness, plays the head of covert operations for the CIA, and in which he and JJ are attacked by a swarm of killer finches.
