ROLE PLAY [AMAZON Prime Video]

You might recognize Kaley Cuoco (“Penny” from The Big Bang Theory ) wearing a red wig and sharing drinks with Bill Nighy in the photo above. Cuoco plays a highly paid assassin who wants to “retire.” But, because she’s such a good assassin, forces move to keep Cuoco “in the game.”



Where Role Play goes off the rails is when Cuoco flees to Berlin to meet up with her handler, Raj (Rudi Dharmalingam) and engages in a lot of fighting and shooting. That is just a prelude to Cuoco informing her clueless husband, Dave (David Oyelowo), that she’s a legendary international assassin and not just his workaholic wife. Then, the Bad Guys grab Cuoco’s children and Cuoco goes ballistic.



The best part of Role Play are the scenes with Bill Nighy, but those are all too brief. The rest of this movie is a mess. A good cast ruined by an idiotic script. GRADE: C
