Our take
The Union drops a New Jersey construction worker into spy work with a high-school sweetheart. You get constant f-word language, assault rifles, beer, and crude sex jokes, including a line about a teacher from years ago. Comic spy film. Older teens and adults.
Story (may spoil tone)
A New Jersey construction worker goes from regular guy to aspiring spy when his long-lost high school sweetheart recruits him for an espionage mission.

Talk after watching
- An ordinary worker is thrown into spy rules. What would you want him to refuse?
- Old romance and new guns. Does the film take either seriously?
