Shiv Sharma ( Tahir) , a mole in the Indian Embassy of Budapest is leaking information about RAW agents. Inspector Yash ( John) and RAW agent KK ( Sonakshi) must hunt him down and bring him to justice.
Review- I spy with my little eye… an action movie with some cool stunts but a textbook thriller plot.
Three RAW agents are killed in China. One of them is Inspector Yash’s ( John Abraham) best friend, Harish. But before dying, Harish leaves inspector Yash a clue indicating that something bigger has been set in motion.
Inspector Yash then updates RAW, and together with agent KK ( Sonakshi Sinha) , they discover that Shiv Sharma ( Tahir Raj Bhasin) , a low-level employee of the Indian Embassy of Budapest, is handing out details of undercover RAW agents like pamphlets on a street corner.
The thing that works in Force 2’s favour is pacing. In spite of a familiar story, the action sequences are timed perfectly and executed stylishly; there are no songs except for a recreation of Kaante Nahi Kat-te, which moves the story along. Most of the climax sequence is shot like a first-person shooter game which is a refreshing experiment.
But the experiments stop there. The story is excruciatingly generic. A mastermind has an ulterior motive behind betraying his nation; the heroes must then strike a balance between morality and vengeance.
John Abraham is intense and impressive when he’s breaking jaws and lifting cars, Tahir Raj Bhasin ( in an extension of his Mardaani role) is good and shows his vulnerable side. Sonakshi Sinha’s half-hearted performance, however, can be partly blamed on her annoyingly underwritten character. KK is the worst-trained RAW agent without an iota of intuition who has to be told to do everything. It’s your usual arm-candy role, padded with a layer of faux feminism.
It’s a decent time at the cinema for the thrill-seekers; the action won’t disappoint. Go ahead and may the force be with you!
