Suzume Katagura is an ordinary housewife. Her husband has been sent overseas on business, and although he phones her regularly, he is more concerned with the health and welfare of his pet turtle. The days pass by monotonously... It is as though no one pays her any attention - even her husband. "Does anyone notice me? Will I just get old and die?" These thoughts scare Suzume... The ordinariness of her life is interrupted one day when she spots a flier in the stairwell advertising for spies! Intrigued, Suzume phones the number. Three days later, Suzume is instructed to go to a run-down apartment. She is greeted by a man and a woman - he is unemployed, and she is a shopping mall announcer. They claim to be spies working for a foreign state. Just like Suzume, they are ordinary people with ordinary lives. The couple persuades Suzume to become a spy too. They virtually force the 5 million yen first mission fee onto Suzume, and so begins her life as a spy! Edit Translation

Interesting movie!! 6.83/10
I first saw this movie on an instagram reel, and I am quite a fan of spy themed movies so i started it. The major thing I can takeaway from this movie is how perspective can really change your outlook on life, and how the fl's ordinary life can actually feel exciting even while doing the same things. However the movies ending was a little too underwhelming after some great buildup of suspense, and I was a little disappointed with it. But I think its part of the charm in this movie as it shows that not everything in life goes how we would want it to, but there is a special uniqueness in continuing every boring life. The reason why I give it a 7 is becaues I think its quite relaxing and gives you a break from the current high dopamine fast paced structure of social media, allowing your brain to slow down while being fairly interesting. Yet its not as life changing and value altering as some other dramas, so it will lose a few points. I am a bigger fan of deeper emotional tv shows but I do think this movie achieves its purpose as a mildly funny and ordinary movie.
