Uproxx
The film doesn’t try to alter Berg’s most essential quality, that he was a mystery. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
This is a very enjoyable middle-of-the-road adventure, especially for moviegoers willing to see just about anything starring Rudd. - 67
The Film Stage
Where Spy succeeds the most is in the first half. Rudd is top-notch, playing Berg as a tragic sort jailed in his own mind, internally fighting and assimilating to a world that cannot accept him. - 63
Movie Nation
The movie is imminently watchable, and the surface sheen is fine, but the real Berg remains more mystery than man with a mission. - 60
The Guardian
The film isn’t a home run, but with Rudd in the lead in something so out of the ordinary for him, it’s fair to call a ground rule double. - 50
Variety
There’s a curious lack of credibility and urgency in this big-screen adaptation, the kind of respectable near-miss that can happen when worthy talent apply themselves to a project they’re just not ideally suited for. - 50
Slant Magazine
As the film proceeds, the appeal of its nostalgia wears thin and you may notice that there isn't much beyond the window dressing. - 50
Washington Post
Ironically, the film is conspicuous not for its brio but its blandness.
