007, Mission: Impossible, Matt Damon, The Bourne, the agents are all acting as agents, and the praiseworthy part of this film is that you didn’t know what he said was the agent. The word is to reveal one's own body and mind, and it is recommended to see it.
The following is a spoiler movie review, if you haven't seen it, please read it and find out.

At the beginning of the film, the director expressed the hero and heroine in a way I like very much: the characters of the middle-aged couple in the workplace, especially the rambunctious character of her husband Jeff Gaffney. This way is to describe a flower as beautiful, without using the word "beautiful", but watching the flower swaying gently in the breeze, watching the bees picking honey on the flower, watching the little girl come up to smell the fragrance of the flower. The beginning of the film "Keeping Up with the Joneses" is confusing in this way, but it really feels the way this family does things. Until they moved in with new neighbors across from them: a pair of beautiful boys and girls, which the heroine Karen Gaffney first saw through the window.
A good way to express it, so that the madness shown by this mediocre middle-aged couple after the arrival of this handsome man and beautiful woman is believable, and at this time Karen, who has a more sensitive sixth sense, found something wrong and began to follow. Female Agent Natalie. Meanwhile, Jeff eats Chinese food with the male agent Tim. On the one hand, Natalie, a secret agent, talks about the self-love and sexiness that girls should have in the fitting room. She has the upper hand and makes her buy sexy underwear (the mainland version edited out Karen's trick to maintain her passion), and on the other hand, Jeff, a family man, is in the dressing room. Using the sincerity of many years of life experience to try to compete with the agent man's routine and prevail, let him tell the truth, "I'm a little tired of work". Both sides are competing, and there is no overwhelming victory for the men and women of the secret service or the men and women at home, but mutual infection.
The director's brilliant point is that the discovery of the bug did not become the breaking point of the story. Jeff is an HR who needs secrecy but not to the extent that it affects the national security level, so he has never taken the words of his wife Karen too much, so even if a bug is discovered, he doesn't think there is anything to eavesdrop. It wasn't until his wife took him to check out a neighbor's gear room and saw his information, including his fingerprints, that it might be a problem. But the real kicker of the story is when Natalie, an agent woman, discovers the used pen needle, which they realize has been exposed.
In the subsequent shootout scene, the translation of the film may be wrong. The female agent said "try not to shoot (death) them", so I didn't understand which side of the sniper motorcycle was at that time, and kept my opinion. Confirm it after you see it. But that didn't detract from the brilliance of the film. The explosion of the pursuit and the explosion that followed were refreshing. The interrogation scene and the transaction scene have changed from the speciality of special agents to the specialization of the hero Jeff HR, which makes this film a good film with brains, and the special agents risking their lives to save the neighbors also makes this film more deeply about human nature.
The only thing that is not so perfect in this film is the dog blood in the Chinese translation. No one has ever been cheap throughout the whole film, hahahaha.
