Agent Game

Agent Game_360P

Not a very well put together film. Choppy editing and the action wasn't good - you couldn't see anything! Only thing I liked was Mel but everything else wasn't well done. Tried to be artsy with lighting but that didn't work out too well.

I couldn't even see what was going on most of the time since the director chose not to use any lighting. Please stop shooting scenes without light. If you haven't taken notice already, there is a growing trend in new films: the blacked-out screen. More and more I see directors shooting so many scenes in almost complete darkness when you can only see about five percent of the screen if you are lucky. There can barely be any other color when black paints so much of the screen. If they don't want images in the film, maybe they'd be more comfortable in radio?

I was shocked at how bad this movie was. It was dark making it difficult to see what was going on at times. The acting and poor editing were just some of the things that made this movie awful. The action scenes were not well choreographed and besides, there was just two of them in the entire movie - one in the first 15 minutes and another in the last 15 minutes. The hour in between these action scenes was a drag, just stretched out dialougues. By the time you get to the end of the movie, you are already tired of the movie. To top it all off, the movie did not have an ending. The ending was literally a cliffhanger. Even if you are trying to set up a sequel, that is not how to do it.

When you a paying customer, obviously you don't have to care about the hardships that came with the production of stuff you are buying. And yet again "Agent Game" is a film that demands a certain understanding of the kind of resourceful filmmaking that came into play here. Mel Gibson and Jason Isaacs starred in a nine-digit budgeted "Patriot" over twenty years ago. So seeing them in a low-budget film feels as if they really fell hard. But other than that, the two of them along with Dylan McDermott really anchor this chamber piece that tries to play out as a topical spy thriller. A couple of decent action sequences and veterans matching with current-ish TV performers like Katie Cassidy and Rhys Coiro make for a solid ensemble and the storyline isn't as convoluted as critics led you believe. No, it's nothing to write home about but it's a great device when you try to make a film on a shoestring budget with one great, one solid and some rather mid-level performers. As a programmer this film works. The ending that implies further sequels seems a bit of unrealistic on producers' behalf but then again the open-ended climax may also amount to a resolution of sorts. This is a B-movie concoction that works. If you are into that kind of thing. If you are into hate-watching, you could do a lot better with something a lot worse.

I enjoyed watching this film immensely being a fan of the intelligence world This film has a different premise from most films & very Original Ignore the low scores given to this film given by reviewers who mark films down if they film makers are not part of the Hollywood mafia. The film is absolutely enjoyable that I had to rewatch the beginning again to pick up things that later made sense.

This movie smacks of being made only with the sequel in mind, as you will see if you watch till the end. There is NO conclusion to the story, it just stops in the middle of the action. Stand by for episode 2 ? The problem is the story isn't worth a second episode. Real good to see Mel Gibson on the screen, even in a smaller role; but not worth paying for.

Terrible film when you consider what Mel has done. Essentially Mel filmed 3 scenes and these got cut across the film in between people firing guns and chucking hand grenades around. Some nice artistic shots but in the round a terrible film. My best advice is don't waste your life on this one.

I have never been so motivated to write a review to warn general audiences about how bad a movie was. Horrible plot, writing, acting. Worst I have seen in decades.

Anyone notice how anything with Mel Gibson immediately gets voted down by a certain demographic with vested interests in wrecking his career??? Mel Gibson is as awesome as ever, his critics are as predictable as usual, but who cares what cry babies who think men can have children think, they are psychotic, mad and as jealous as hell of real men. This is a decent film, a cut above the Marvel crap churned out for people with diminished IQ's and no imagination. Is it worth a 9, yes, absolutely if only to get under the skin of a certain demographic whose salty tears are my fuel.
