...casually contributes something significant to the spy genre—a strong sense of shadowy workers who just want to do their job so they can go home.

Baron Cohen is hugely impressive, playing things unfailingly straight as Cohen's own sense of self atrophies over years of audacious imposture and ascetic self-containment.

Det levereras med andra ord gott om härligt skrivna scener där Baron Cohen får spänna sina spioneri-muskler.

Rigtig spændende. Giver en god forståelse af hvordan Israel har og skal kæmpe for at overleve med fjendtlige naboer til alle sider.
