"True Memoirs of an International Assassin" was released in 2016 as a Netflix original film featuring Kevin James as Sam Larson/Mason Carver and Kim Coates as President Cueto. Upon its release, the movie received largely mixed to negative reviews from critics, who found the plot predictable and humor uneven, although Kevin James' performance was sometimes praised for its charm. Viewership on Netflix was moderate, but it did not make a significant impact at the time. Over the years, however, the movie has garnered a small but dedicated fanbase who appreciate its light-hearted approach to the action-comedy genre. While it is not widely regarded as a cult classic, it is increasingly viewed as an underrated gem by fans who enjoy its blend of comedy and spy-thriller elements, especially for those seeking a fun, low-stakes action film on streaming platforms.
