Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I really enjoyed it... All Kevin's movies are hilarious. Fantastic!!!
I enjoyed the entire movie. It has nice pacing, the humor is well done, the story is engaging and when you knock of off any thought of academy awards, this is well worth watching. I am sort of hoping they can fashion a sequel. I enjoy light comedy. I enjoy high drama. I enjoy art films. I enjoy them for what they are. This is action and light comedy. Once you understand that, this is fun.
RELEASED IN 1970 and directed by Jeff Wadlow, "True Memoirs of an International Assassin" details events when an unpublished American author's spy novel is changed by his new publisher from fiction to non-fiction, thus thrusting the homebody Kevin James) into the thrilling, life-or-death world of his fictional protagonist in the most dangerous city on Earth: Caracas, Venezuela. Zulay Henao plays the Latino babe he teams-up with there. Kim Coates, Maurice Compte, Andrew Howard and Andy Garcia appear as other characters the writer meets in South America. If you like Kevin James, this is an action-packed comedy highlighted on the female front by Zulay, Emilie Ullerup and others (e.g. Katie Couric). It's too incidental to give a higher grade, but it's snappy and thrilling for what it is. I enjoyed the stereotypical depiction of a filthy rich drug lord, basically living like Hugh Hefner in a vast mansion with half-naked women frolicking about the pool. THE FILM RUNS 98 minutes and was shot in New York City, Atlanta & Dominican Republic. WRITERS: Jeff Morris & Wadlow. GRADE: B-
Just watched this Netflix comedy and was pleasantly surprised. The production values are high and the writing is funny with lots of laugh out loud moments and good one liners. The story is original with a person who writes a novel about an assassin but his publisher markets it as a true story. Things get quite complicated as he gets caught up in different factions wanting to assassinate the other in Venezuela.Kevin James as always amazes with lots of physical dexterity despite his size. Zulay Henao plays a female DEA agent and she has some amusing and snappy action sequences and fight scenes. Her dialog with Kevin James is quite hilarious. Andy Garcia gets quite a few comic roles these days and he is good. Liked Maurice Compte - Colonel Carrillo from Narcos in a supporting role.One of the best Kevin James movies.
