In the hallowed halls of parody, 'Codename: Enigma' pitches its tent with a guffaw and a wink. The film is a veritable smorgasbord of laughs, serving up a platter of comedic delights that are as sharp as James Mâché-son's wit and as unexpectedly explosive as one of George Sake's harebrained schemes. Hayao Meowazaki's venture into the live-action realm is as whimsical as it is brazen, melding his trademark charm with a slapstick sensibility that paints the metropolis with strokes of absurdity. Catherine Zeta Scones, our enigmatic heroine, delivers a performance that's as rich and layered as her namesake pastry. While the narrative occasionally trips over its own cleverness, much like a detective stumbling upon a clue in the dark, the film's infectious energy and barrage of puns keep the audience entwined in its enigmatic embrace. 'Codename: Enigma' is the cinematic equivalent of a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a comedy club; it's a film that doesn't just invite you to unravel the mystery, but does so with a popcorn-flavored laugh track that's hard to resist.
