For those that like the spy action of the James Bond series shaken with a bit of humor, this French hit promises to be a tasty cocktail. OSS 117 is a popular French character who has appeared in hundreds of books, and OSS 117: CAIRO, NEST OF SPIES marks his ninth cinematic appearance. In this outing. Jean Dujardin (BRICE DE NICE) stars as a spy who approaches state secrets and seduction with equal seriousness.

Cast:
"OSS 117: CAIRO, NEST OF SPIES is a loving spoof of Cold War espionage thrillers, done with a spot-on-recreation of the look, sound and feel of a genuine 1950s Technicolor production." -- Mark Olsen , (Los Angeles Times)

"[T]he film does a witty job of replicating the hermetic, overlit shot language of '60s studio movies." -- Grade: B -- Owen Gleiberman , (Entertainment Weekly)

"A spy movie spoof with a difference....Breezy, goofy, pastel-colored fun..." -- Glenn Kenny , (Premiere)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]ts on-target mock-up of the '60s espionage aesthetic should raise chuckles with anyone with a fondness for the the Connery years..." -- Samuel Wigley , (Total Film)

3 stars out of 5 -- "Jean Dujardin plays the spy with a mix of vacuous suavity and condescension that makes his investigation of the murder of a comrade all the more hilariously inept." -- David Parkinson , (Empire)
