Featured review
Agent Game. Horrible title I agree but you know what? I didn't hate it!
Now don't get me wrong, this straight to streaming (or maybe it'll show in theaters for a week, who knows) stars Mel Gibson and a bunch of other people who'll have you saying "hey! It's that guy/gal!". For example we have Katie Cassidy of The Arrow fame where she played Black Canary (or Canaries, I lost count) as Miller a CIA agent, Barkahad Abdi of the now meme-worthy "I am your Captain now" fame as Omar, a wrongfully detained Muslim man, with Adan Canto from The Cleaning Lady (by the way, this show is really good, you should definitely give it a go) and Jason Isaacs who's does a ton of great voice work but who I remember most recently as the charismatic Captain Lorca from Star Trek: Discovery, all make appearances here.
Surprisingly the actors involved are doing their best to make this paint by numbers espionage thriller work and I appreciated that as these types of movies are best for playing while doing your household chores and yet I found myself actually paying attention to the story! I'm not saying it's a great story but it does have enough going for it to make things engaging at times. There aren't many action sequences so if you're going in hoping for them you'll have to be satisfied with a handful here and there and a larger set piece at the conclusion and the film actually sets itself up with an open ended finale, so I'm guessing they have a sequel in mind. Call me crazy but I'm not mad at the idea.
In a world filled with mediocre straight-to-stream movies, Agent Game is a tad better than the rest. Not a lot better, but certainly not the worst by a long shot. Trust me, I'm just as surprised as you are.
