This film's main attraction is Juri Ueno whose effortless charisma and charm make the film quite watchable if somewhat uneventful.
Ueno plays Suzume, a bored housewife who decides to train as a spy at the hands of a middle-aged couple. Some scenes are extremely effective, such as Suzume's attempt to order something so normal that the waitress won't remember what she ordered, but they are the exception rather than the norm.
The films moves along smoothly enough, including a de-rigeur chaotic climax with which the film concludes.
The film is enjoyable enough. Ueno is always a pleasure to watch, and the quiet charm of the film leaves you with a smile on your face.
