OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies 2006
Watched May 01, 2012
Andreas Opsvik’s review:
For some reason I saw this one after its successor, not that it mattered much. It's not as polished as the other OSS 117 movie, and not as sharp in its portrayal and caricature of Hubert and the spy genre.
Thus far, I think he works better as a character when he's a fish out of water, than in "Cairo", when he's more at the peak of his career. It does have some great laughs, although I suspect some of them are lost in translation.
