[This story contains spoilers for the Prime Video film Role Play.]
The team behind the Prime Video action-comedy movie Role Play had initially intended to make things a little extra challenging for Kaley Cuoco and David Oyelowo’s lead characters before the lights went up.
Thomas Vincent, who directed the recent Amazon MGM Studios film from a script by Seth Owen, tells The Hollywood Reporter that there had been a planned final moment at the end in which Emma (Cuoco) gets a bit of a scare as husband Dave (Oyelowo) realizes that her high-risk lifestyle as a professional assassin might not actually be in the past.
“At some point, there was an epilogue in Mexico, and they were in their next life and in a restaurant,” Vincent recalls. “A bunch of big guys came in, like Mafia guys. Then, the boss, as soon as he sat down at a table, just had a heart attack and died. The two...

During the Cold War, we had “I Married a Communist” and “I Married a Monster From Outer Space” — two predicaments that the era’s paranoias rendered basically the same thing. In recent years, however, a more common screen fantasy might be summarized as “Whoops, My Significant Other Turns Out to Be an International Spy/Assassin.” There have been numerous efforts in that vein, of variably intentional absurdity. Now there’s “Role Play,” which by their standards doesn’t seem particularly outlandish for offering “The Big Bang Theory’s” Kaley Cuoco as a globetrotting killer cloaked in the normie guise of suburban mom.
This smaller-scaled, gender-flipped spin on the “True Lies” conceit, however, gets most of its charm and humor from David Oyelowo, playing the Jamie Lee Curtis role of the solidly middlebrow spouse flummoxed at finding themselves married to a lethal weapon. Revealing hitherto underexposed comic chops, he elevates a...

Roleplay is a brand-new Amazon Studio film that was released on January 12, 2023. Directed by Thomas Vincent and written by Seth Owen, the movie stars Kaley Cuoco and David Oyelowo as a married couple, Emma and Dave Brackett, who are exploring and willing to push the boundaries of their marriage by experimenting with avenues that would add spice to their lives.
Unbeknownst to Dave, Emma is an undercover hitman for hire and has been doing this job for many years. Emma had managed to balance her life without involving her family in her line of work, but everything was bound to change as they ran into a man who could expose her to the people she was closest to. Either Emma will have to reveal herself to her husband, who loves her, or she will have to keep piling on lies to retain their marriage as it is.

A talented ensemble cast has come together for espionage comedy thriller Role Play. And now we have a trailer.
While we’re looking forward to a shiny 4K release of James Cameron’s True Lies as you can bet that it’ll look the business, it’s fair to say that a contemporary viewing of the film won’t age as well in every degree.
Still, as a product of its time, it will be a hugely enjoyable watch… but if you’re looking for a more contemporary take on the ‘secret assassin comedy thriller’ genre, look no further than Role Play.
Bill Nighy and Connie Neilsen have major supporting roles while David Oyelowo and Kelly Cuoco star.
Selma star Oyelowo, and Kaley Cuoco – best known for her work in TV’s The Big Bang Theory – could make for quite the pairing as the film centres around a married couple...
