5/10
spy of the needle
29 October 2023
Admittedly, Herbert Ross's "Undercover Blues" is a silly movie. It seems like much of the movie is an excuse for the characters to do a bunch of martial arts, with the protagonists smiling in even the most dangerous situations. Even so, the movie makes no pretense about what it is, so it's easy to enjoy. Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid play married spies targeted by different sets of goons in New Orleans.

The movie's purpose is to just have fun, and it succeeds in that respect. No reason to parse or analyze it, just sit back and watch the gags while also enjoying the music provided by the Crescent City.

In supporting roles are Tom Arnold, Fiona Shaw (Aunt Petunia in the Harry Potter movies) and RIchard Jenkins (partly known as Nate Sr. On "Six Feet Under", he also played supporting roles in "Step Brothers" and "The Shape of Water").
