Critics reviews

It manages to feel both rushed and interminable as it runs toward a finish line of exhaustion.

Johnny English Strikes Again was always destined to be an afterthought, regardless of quality, but it is still a bit frustrating that the film isn’t sharper, or funnier.

On the evidence, Rowan Atkinson’s secret agent character, Johnny English, has grown slightly less bumbling over the years, and so has the series. “Johnny English Strikes Again” has a few more laughs and far fewer cringes (and stereotypes) than the two films that preceded it.
