S*P*Y*S was the ill-fated reunion of M*A*S*H stars Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould, who teamed up in this would-be slapstick thriller from director Irvin Kershner (…). The Fox ad campaign promised that what Gould and Sutherland did for the military in M*A*S*H, they’d do for the CIA in S*P*Y*S, but as you might anticipate, there’s little in common between the two films on any level outside of its two stars, who do, at least, exhibit a breezy chemistry here. Sadly, the script is a rambling wreck and the resulting film one of those infamous, star-driven misfires that just happens every now and then. — Andre Dursin
