The Spy (Sacha Baron Cohen) Official Trailer (Netflix, September 6)
- Thread starter alr1ght
- Start date
I'm not sure I've ever seen Sacha Baron Cohen in a serious role, I'm somewhat looking forward to this.
That trailer was some made for TV shit. I don't know why but ugh.
Anyway, Serious Sascha has me interested one way or the other. Nice to see him try something different.

LOL same here. I was trying not to laugh while watching, but I couldn't help it.
Netflix has just about lost me when it comes to their original movies. It seems like even when they secure good actors and/or directors, the movies are still mediocre.
Y'all should check out Hugo or Les Miserables, he's a pretty awesome actor.
A lot of comedic actors translate very well into drama
Even Adam Sandler when he tries can be a good dramatic actor
Also Hugo is great but I remember Sacha being a bit comedic in that role
I kept watching the trailer waiting for the comedy twist then realized this is a serious role. Still looking forward to seeing it.
This is not the sequel to the Brothers Grimsby I was hoping for.
Yeah. I don't how to pin it down but it has this tv look
Nope. He can't have the Borat moustache and talk in an middle-east accent and expect me to take him seriously.
Yeah. Shame it didn't pan out. The version he wanted to do sounded more interesting.
In the movie he wanted to do, not Bryan Singer's version.
The Irishman
Laundromat
Wedding Story
All 3 of those prolly gonna be serious awards contenders tbh
Roma was last year too
My thoughts on this one
Will give him benefit of the doubt though because he is a master of disguise and pretty damn good actor
There are definitely some quality movies sprinkled throughout, but I'll wait and see. I thought Apostle and Velvet Buzzsaw were guaranteed quality films, but I was sorely mistaken.
huh, looks interesting. I agree Cohen may not have been the right casting choice, his Ali G/Borat personalities will haunt him forever. One really weird/crazy trivia fact that may have been the reason why he did this: he is related to the character that is central to this movie, who is named Eli Cohen (so no coincidence last name is same).
But yeah it does look a bit over melodramatic and will probably be a bit of propaganda for the state of Israel.

It may be based on a true story but damn, can writers come up with drama other than 'the undercover officer's wife can't handle the secrecy and the double life fucks him up psychologically'. It's such an overused cliche and not the norm at all: these are some of the most closely monitored and carefully selected professionals in the intelligence world.
Sure, there a few historic cases where it went wrong but many more where it didn't... It's such a lack of imagination to go back to that same dramatic well when there's enough real world drama to draw from.
The French series Bureaus des Legends is much closer to what it's actually like: a serious job and craft performed by super trained people who know what kind of life they chose.

I found him funny AF in this trailer. Just cant shake his comedic schtick persona. All I see is SBC pretending to be someone else. (his accent doesnt help either).
