Simple. Direct. I like it. I wanted a poster with French language but all those had bad resolution, probably to save the earth by reducing pixel counts or something.

OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies

So now, one of the highest rated (on IMDB) movies I have ever shown is going to be a French spy film.  Why is this so awesome, you ask?  Because it is one of the better spy parody movies I have ever seen.  As a bonus, this is a series. A second film is available on TUBI, and the third one is rentable. In true sequel style the first move is great and the sequels degrade the awesomeness a little each time. That should be an Iron Law.

The look and feel of this movie is just fantasic.  The lead actor exudes a Sean Connery vibe. The humor will catch you off guard. No punches are pulled here. Our lead is brutally crass and funnier for it. I even like that the current IMDB customer review has to point out how non-woke this film is and then admit grudgingly that it’s F-ing hilarious.

This is based on a novel series by Jean Bruce should you wish to read the source material. Jean died in 1963, leaving behind a ton of OSS 117 novels. His novels were serious, where as this film takes the rough plot and forms a parody.

I have written enough. It’s getting late and I must finish with the catch phrase. So watch!  Or don’t! Everything is voluntary until a big Frenchman beats your ass for singing at night. Next week, I will be on the road again so expect something… Unexpected.
