HE’S A PRO. SHE’S A NATURAL.

When a nine-year-old (Chloe Coleman) exposes a CIA operation where her family (who has ties to an arms dealer) is under surveillance, she decides to blackmail the agent in charge, J.J. (Dave Bautista).

Echoes of Kindergarten Cop (1990) in this comedy where a brawny CIA agent, whose missions usually end in chaos, has to deal with a savvy kid; naturally, it turns out they need each other.

The story has few laughs and zero credibility, but it’s sweet and benefits from Bautista’s sincere performance.
