My Spy is okay

My Spy is okay. Dave Bautista is good in the role of a CIA agent who befriends a young girl. He is surveilling her mom's apartment in case her uncle, who is an arms dealer, contacts the family. This is not revolutionary but it was enjoyable. A lot of action heroes have movies where they befriend young children. This is a standard example and it would not work if Bautista was not good. 

Of the wrestlers turned actors (there are a lot of them), Dwayne Johnson probably has the most star power or charisma. I think Bautista has a good screen presence and he has a wry sense of humor at times.  Bautista used to play villains and still does sometimes.

Okay, maybe I am being generous because this was streaming on Amazon Prime and I like Bautista. Perhaps I would have been more critical if I saw this in a theater after watching 25 minutes of previews and adds.

I think this review is fair.
