> A redefined wonderful spy movie. I know Melissa McCarthy since 'Gilmore Girls', but never thought she would rise this far, especially to dominate in a movie with the presence of the big names around her, that too in an action film equivalent to top quality.

Shi can be kind, giving even, but doesn’t…
