Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Murky nonsense that aspires to get by on what it considers to be a trenchant cynicism about geopolitical chess. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Andy Klein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It moves quickly enough, but really it is a standard issue shoot-em-up with nothing to distinguish it. Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Shot in that standard slick, hyper-masculine style, this thriller relies heavily on the audience's familiarity with cliches as it skips around its scrambled narrative. Rated: 3/5 Apr 14, 2022 Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media This standard, middle-of-the-road action film is entertaining enough, if you can overlook the fact that it co-stars Gibson...even if you can look past his participation, you might still find that there's not much meat to the film's story. Rated: 3/5 Apr 14, 2022 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb Agent Game is a guilty pleasures espionage thriller loaded with backstabbing and wild shootouts. The film clumsily tackles the CIA's use of rendition at black ops prisons. The veteran cast and bullet-riddled action keeps the adrenaline flowing. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 13, 2022 Full Review Jon Mendelsohn CBR Agent Game tries to tell an engaging non-linear tale of spies behaving badly but suffers from a confusing script and bizarre editing.

David L SPOILER ALERT i'm giving it two stars because the first half was somewhat interesting and I wanted to know what it was building up to. I like Mel Gibson and Jason Isaacs as actors and so I stuck with it. I thought surely these guys are not going to be in a turkey are they? Unfortunately, it just became more and more unrealistic to the point of being farcical. These supposedly hardened military espionage types have their jet commandeered and landed somewhere in Kosovo. There are no guards or presence on this airfield, they know they're going to get whacked here, and yet they just walk into the massive empty hanger instead of bugging out into the surrounding country. Which is the obvious thing to do. Once they get in there, they're up against the one turncoat female agent armed with a pistol, who drags it out of her pants despite them having automatic weapons trained on her. Of course they miss her (because these specialist military types didn't even go through basic it appears). Then a Huey full of special forces guys loudly drops in, they charge into this massive hanger without getting picked off, and the film degenerates into an eight-year-old kids shootemup fantasy. The good guys are blasting away on full auto as if they had belt fed weapons, most of the time no one is getting hit. The leader of the good guys has a couple of grenades hanging on his shirt, but he never thinks to use them. It's the sort of absurd totally unrealistic lead ballet that ruins so many US films. Then Mel's character whacks all his own people with a drone missile strike and of course the good guys get away, but in the end, we don't know why the hell any of this meant anything. I really felt bad that I sat and watched it and invested in the story to be insulted by this ridiculous ending. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review W m Spoiler alert do not read if do not want to know the end. This film is confusing, too many twists and the film is mostly in darkness. Sorry but I found it lacking any real sincerity, and the ending is rubbish, as there is no ending Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Aaron Jan L This Agent Game is an outdated spy-thriller action film. It's look like a produced by The CW that made in to a film, despite a few veteran actors like Mel Gibson and Jason Isaacs. Only the music score is the only hyping the movie--and the some actors dialogue are delivering the lines just like in the corn-ish soap opera from the 90's to 2000's. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Geoff K One for the morons. I wasted $4.95 on this junk. A kids movie sadly with no thread of logic or sense but lots of meaningless shoot ups. As exciting as a sandwich without filling. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Eric C Awesome classic spy thriller with a twist. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Jarrod R calling this disappointing would be an understatement. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
