Johnny English Reborn


Rowan Atkinson returns to the role of the accidental secret agent who doesn't know fear or danger in the comedy spy-thriller Johnny English Reborn. In his latest adventure, the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty's Secret Service must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos.

English is learning martial arts in Tibet as penance for an earlier disastrous mission. MI-7 identifies him as the best agent for a new mission; stopping a group of international assassins before they kill the Chinese premier and cause global chaos. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English returns to his role with gusto. In Macau, his Chinese contact is murdered in a casino, but in Hong Kong he manages to obtain one of three metal "keys" that, when combined, can be used as an assassination weapon. While bragging to his sidekick about the success of his mission on a flight back to the United Kingdom, the key is stolen from its case. He arrives at headquarters and opens the case with a flourish in front of many dignified guests, only to show an empty interior. English then believes he has seen the Chinese assassin involved in a murder in Hong Kong. He attacks her twice, but both times the victim turns out to be his boss's mother.

He goes to Kate Summer's house and convinces her that he is not the traitor and that the organisation Vortex is behind the assassination and that they were also in his disastrous mission that went wrong. Together they find out that Vortex is using a drug that allows people to be controlled for a brief time, before dying. After Kate goes on a date with Simon Ambrose the traitor, an attempt is made on English's life yet again by the killer from Hong Kong. He escapes and he and his sidekick Tucker go to the conference where they believe the attempt is going to be made on the premier's life.Kate then kisses him and in his head he remembers from the monk that if he opens his heart, he will be reborn. He opens his eyes revealing he is not dead and chases after Ambrose, first by parachute,then by bike,before catching up to his cable-car. He accidentally falls off the car but the snow outside breaks his fall. Ambrose stops the car and tries to shoot English and English thinking that his umbrella gadget is actually a bullet-proof shield,opens it, and finding that it does not reflect bullets,closes it again, which is actually the signal for it to shoot a rocket. The rocket hits the cable-car and it explodes with Ambrose. English is knighted, but, during the ceremony, he finds out that the Queen is the killer in disguise, and she tries to kill him yet again and run. He chases after her and violently hits her on the head with a tray, only to find out, when the guards bring the real killer inside, that he has attacked the real Queen.
