Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."You make me laugh," Amber Valetta's Gillian tells Bob, Jackie Chan's prim pen salesman. Only Bob's really an international spy and he's not funny in the slightest.
And neither is this dreary effort. Chan's shtick, of course, is to leap a lot and chop down rogues. But, aged 55, there's precious little chopping and leaping going on in this tired children's caper. Bob's on the verge of retiring from the spy game (of course he is) and wants to settle down with Gillian. The snag is that her three moppets hate him – they think he's "a drone". When, somewhat irresponsibly, Gillian sods off to look after her sick dad, she leaves her brats with Bob and they (very slowly) learn the truth.
