Johnny English Strikes Again Film Review


Finished watching Johnny English Strikes Again, directed by David Kerr and staring Rowan Atkinson, Adam James, Ben Miller, Emma Thompson and Jake Lacy. The film opens with MI7 being at the centre of a cyber attack which leads to all of the names of current agents being leaked online, causing the agency to call in former agent Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) who is currently a geography teacher while also teaching his students how to be spies. After being reassigned and debriefed by Pegasus (Adam James) the current head of MI7, English then meets with Bough (Ben Miller) again as the two begin their mission with France being their first stop. Meanwhile the British Prime Minster (Emma Thompson) finds herself calling in tech billionaire Jason Volta (Jake Lacy) to help with the cyber attack that keep happening in the country. Overall this was a good film as it continues the film series by reintroducing some characters like Bough from the first film to great effect with how he plays off of English throughout the film. The comedy throughout the film is great as there are some truly hilarious moments throughout. However some parts do fall a little flat as there are some bits that are a bit dated and out of place. 7.5/10.
