Director: David Andersson
A washed-up secret agent gets pulled out of a bottle for one last job in "Guy Manley Super Spy," a 2024 Swedish action comedy that leans hard into parody without losing its taste for real stunt work.
What is Guy Manley Super Spy about?
Guy Manley was once the sharpest operative his agency ever fielded, a man who could talk his way out of a locked vault or shoot his way out of a burning building without spilling his drink. Years of forced retirement have not been kind: he now spends his days nursing bottles instead of grudges. His old boss, Buck Cash, tracks him down with an offer disguised as an order — stop Buck's own brother, Rich, from winning a mayoral race that would hand him more power than any elected official should hold. Guy is reluctant, out of shape, and out of practice, but the assignment forces him back into the field, dodging rival agents, mistaken identities, and his own bad habits along the way. The film treats its spy-thriller mechanics as a launching pad for slapstick rather than suspense, stacking chase sequences and gadget gags on top of a plot that never takes itself too seriously.
Cast & crew
Baltazar Ploteau anchors the title role opposite Anton Sjölund and Milton Björnegren, with Omar Myrza and Knut Wistbacka filling out the agency's rogues' gallery. Peter Stormare, a familiar face to international audiences from decades of genre work, brings his usual deadpan menace to the supporting cast, giving the comedy a sturdier villainous presence than most spy spoofs bother with.
Context & significance
Director David Andersson built the film around Sweden's small but active genre-film scene, blending broad American-style action-comedy beats with a distinctly Nordic sense of deadpan timing. The 90-minute runtime keeps the pacing brisk, favoring quick set pieces over extended exposition, which fits the film's parody instincts.
