In the five years since MI-7's top spy Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) vanished off the grid, he has been honing his martial arts skills in a remote region of Asia. But when MI7 chief (Gillian Anderson) learns of an attempt against the Chinese premier's life, her team must find the highly unorthodox agent. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs through the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. He has a young trainee agent, Tucker (Daniel Kaluuva) to help him, and some backroom help from behaviour study expert Kate Summer (Rosamund Pike).

"Still relying on cheap laughs in places and not always pulling off its ambitious ideas, Johnny English Reborn won't blow you away, but it's much more fun than anyone could reasonably have expected it to be. It's smart, balancing OTT action with dry wit; it's sneakily endearing, and it's terribly British." Eye for Film

"I laughed and chuckled throughout this smartly written and executed comedy whose brand of humour is eccentric, gentle and totally Atkinson."  Urban Cinefile
