_The Copenhagen Test_ feels like a somber version of _Kingsman_, resembling _The Truman Show_ only in a diminished way. Spy stories are inherently challenging for dramatic thrillers because the typical spy—always calm, always clever—doesn't naturally allow for truly engaging and impactful acting, which is exactly what holds this series back due to its self-importance. The film also suffers from a lack of nuance; it guides the audience through every moment and can’t compensate with an unexpected twist. It’s difficult to become invested in almost any of the characters, as Liu's performance falls short and Barrera (who I was most looking forward to seeing, and appears late in the credits) is sadly given very little to do. The only standout performer is Sinclair Daniels as Parker, who delivers a portrayal with enough sincerity and screen time to connect with the audience. Character motivations are unclear or backstories incomplete; I simply don’t feel connected to these people. The story's central theme is just another familiar narrative about the US government acting recklessly in its own self-interest and escaping accountability, which isn’t particularly original or groundbreaking, especially given how it resolves itself around the concept of "family." (Another reviewer led me to believe there would be something progressive here, but instead, it's mostly a cast of color with a brief appearance of elderly lesbian leaders.)
