THE SPY NEXT DOOR


During served as a CIA spy, Bob Ho (Jackie Chan) often have to deal with tasks that could be practically impossible to complete. Armed with all the lessons that he can for education and ingenuity, Bob was always able to complete its mission well. But Bob did not know if it was the most difficult mission he will actually face after she backed away from the CIA.

Having been fed up with his job, Bob had decided to resign and start a quiet life. Bob wants to build household with Gillian (Amber Valletta), his girlfriend who was his beloved. Gillian was actually really loved Bob, but because he already had three children then the first thing to do to prove that Bob is he worthy of being the stepfather of three children of this Gillian.

One time Gillian had to go out of town and Bob used the opportunity to take the three children Gillian's heart. Bob offered to keep Gillian's third child for Gillian to go. Initially this task alone is hard enough let alone when one of Gillian's son accidentally download files secret Russian spy. In a short time the Russian spies had come to retrieve their own files.

Bob's task now is not only watching Gillian's third child but also to protect these three children from the threat of a Russian spy unforgiving. There was no choice. Bob could only pass it safely when it involves children Gillian meaning he had to dismantle his secret identity as a CIA spy.

In terms of theme, THE SPY NEXT DOOR has similarities with the Vin Diesel movie called The Pacifier. The similarity of themes is not a proper question for the penuangannya not be trapped in the story line of the first film appeared. In this case THE SPY NEXT DOOR could still qualify as a theme that is poured in a different way.

The problem here is actually a matter of directing. Brian Levant seem unable to direct the actors and actresses, so what happened was an act that does not meet the standard. In the case of Jackie Chan and Amber Valleta, chemistry between these two men could not appear. Throughout his career, Jackie was never a romantic look and the director also can not seem to lead geeks actor is to be romantic.

In terms of action, nothing new here. Films before Jackie Chan's fight scenes can be represented in this film, although at a certain point it seems Jackie was getting too old to act the same way again. Fortunately there are still some moments that are quite capable of laughter even at the end of the story occurred no desire to watch this movie again
