14h great opening and several great bits, shots, and performances, mostly overshadowed by its meandering pace and vague storytelling. I still couldnt tell you why Armando was on the run. The atmosphere and costumes were stellar though See more 2d Amazing film with great performances. See more Vilmar G @ghivi01 2d The Secret Agent is a powerful and accomplished political thriller, elevated by Wagner Moura’s gripping performance and Kleber Mendonça Filho’s assured direction. The film vividly captures the paranoia and moral corrosion of Brazil under authoritarian rule, blending tension, atmosphere, and strong visual craft. That said, while undeniably effective, it also reflects a familiar loop in Brazilian cinema — a recurring return to the dictatorships of the 1960s and 70s, often leaning heavily on depictions of poverty and raw brutality. At times, these scenes feel less essential to the story and more designed to shock. Even so, the film remains a compelling and thought-provoking work, confirming its director’s place among Brazil’s most important contemporary voices. See more 3d Ugh, the slowest movie Ive ever seen! Plot was all over the place, & it was so boring. Love Wagner Moura, & the 70s sets & cars were cool, but honestly do not waste your time. Plus its 2 hours & 40 minutes. They desperately needed an editor. See more 4d I recommend it although it was a bit more confusing to understand where it was going or it took me a while to figure out what it was about. But the scenery and language was fun and interesting to see. I also wasn't prepared for the scarey parts. See more 6d solid film the end of the third act was a bit of a surprise i suppose the story was told in the best way they could manage excellent performances and cinematography. i truly felt that i was in 1977 Brazil that is, until the very out of place, assassins creed style cuts into the present day. not really sure what the idea was there, perhaps that was just to set up the end, or maybe that was a result of rewrites and reshoots. all in all, the film entertained and told a great story. 4/5, recommended See more Read all reviews
