Parodying the James Bond secret agent genre, Rowan Atkinson had successfully made his way to the silver screen with his renowned 2003 action comedy film JOHNNY ENGLISH. It was a spoof spy thriller where Atkinson plays the lead character with John Malkovich, Natalie Imbruglia, Tim Pigott-Smith and Ben Miller in supporting roles.From the direction of Peter Howitt, the movie opens with Johnny English who was working as a secret service agent at British Intelligence. English has a fantasy about himself as ‘Agent Number One’—the best man of the MI-7 organization.
When an unexpected plan to steal the country’s Crown Jewel came to the service’s knowledge, Agent One was quickly assigned to the case and was quickly dispatched to six feet under. The British spy’s funeral was attacked and all his replacements were assassinated. And only one hero was left—Johnny English—who always dreamed of being a sophisticated man of action. Along with his assistant Angus Bough (Ben Miller), he went through his mission and later had discovered the person behind the evil plan, the French businessman Pascal Sauvage (John Malkovich). English’s attention was caught by a mysterious Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia), whom he had met in a social event and had joined him throughout the case.
Through his comic acting, Atkinson as Johnny English starred the movie with a refreshing sense of humor that made it really entertaining. He’s indeed a professional and an exceptional comedian. Not to mention the dialogues, his funny acts and how he managed to change expressions of his face gave the movie a creditable performance on the big screen.
That was Johnny English… “He knows no fear. He knows no danger. In fact, he knows absolutely nothing!”
And wait there’s more! After 8 years comes the next attraction… he is given one more chance. A sequel, JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN is to be released on October 28 of this year.
Watch…laugh...have fun! :D
