The Spy Who Dumped Me is overlong. That's the first thing I must tell you about this slovenly comedy about a woman who discovers that her ex boyfriend is a deep cover spy. The second thing of note is that the always funny Kate McKinnon... isn't . She tries hard, but the the role of the kooky gal pal is beyond redemption, even for her..Others in the cast do their best, and I have to admit that the action sequences are good, but this film is much too long. I also have to take issue with some of the violence. In one sequence, a taxi driver is shot to death while taking the two women someplace. This sequence bothers me because it trivializes death. Bear in mind, this is supposed to be a comedy. We expect scenes like this in an authentic spy caper, but here, the sequence is gratuitous and creepy. That pretty much sums up this film: gratuitous and creepy.
