The Trouble with Spies (1987)

Just saw this one last night. It is generally available to stream or download.
I am a fan of Fletch, and The Trouble With Spies reminded me of Fletch in essence. Donald Sutherland's main character goes out on mission and slowly develops a relationship with a woman unlikely to become his girlfriend. He moves around incognito, at times in hilarious costume. There are people following him trying to kill him and there is even a guard dog at a house he is attempting to gain access to. In the end the couple walks down the beach.
I went into it for wacky Sutherland moments and wasn't disappointed. To be certain, this is not a movie to be taken seriously. This story is loosely stitched together with all kinds of frayed ends, but they used just enough duct tape at the very end (ala Murder By Death 1976) to call it a wrap.
