Director: Oliver Parker. Starring: Rowan Atkinson, Rosamund Pike, Dominic West, Gillian Anderson, Ben Miller. Israel/France/Japan/UK 2011. 101 mins.
Comedy icon Rowan Atkinson reprises his role as the eponymous hapless secret agent in this quintessentially British spy caper. Taking place eight years on from the 2003 outing, JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN opens with our hero ruing a sputtering career that’s been stuck in second gear ever since a top-secret mission gone wrong in Mozambique five years before. Having taken to an isolated Tibetan cave to hide his shame, he is recalled to the MI7 fold after being pulled back into shape by a martial arts-trained monk. Now he is tasked with thwarting an attempt to assassinate the Chinese premier, but as usual his mission is not about to go off without a hitch.
