Press
It's 007 meets The Naked Gun in a silly sitcom about a group of spies, led by co-writer Tom Davis as in-yer-face agent Logan. Subtle it's not - sample line: "Your penis is hanging out" (and it is) - this does have a kind of manic energy that's impossible to deny. First mission: what is the secret of "Abacus"?
