Originally "My Spy," Bautista's last "Rotten" score before his "Fresh" run was... Critics have noted that although both "My Spy" Movies try to profit from the tried-for formula of matching a charismatic action star with a precocious child, they fall short of providing a gripping narrative. Based on his collaborations with directors like Villeneuve and Gunn, Bautista's talents are perhaps more suited for movies that let him highlight his dramatic range and comic timing.
