This movie is truly deserving of its 5/10 rating, because it's equal parts fun and dumb. But the fun isn't dumb enough to be really fun, and the dumb is taken so seriously, that it just comes off laughable.
An R-Rating could have done wonders for this schlock. Getting some gory violence and some T&A would have been nice. It tries way to hard to be progressive in some ways, and yet with it's committee thinking wouldn't dare to pay anything but lip service to these political issues.
When it comes to action it's fine. Nothing special really. There were a few interesting moments and a couple of nice set pieces, but it couldn't keep up the momentum or maintain any underlying tension.
The plot is so silly it must have been written by some out of work clowns.
Gosling Guy gets recruited by the CIA, because he demonstrated his abilities as an assassin by being subjected to childhood trauma.
Shady Career CIA Dude does some shady stuff to promote his career. Yet he's so obviously shady, that it makes everyone around him seem insanely incompetent.
Super Smart Spy Lady breaks protocol. Is surprised by having to face any consequences for those actions. Immediately jumps ship to commit treason.
Bad Guy is pretty bad and fairly stupid. But mostly unlucky.
Kidnap Girl gets kidnapped.
Over all, it's not a complete waste of time, depending on your definition of "waste".
