Agents

Needless to say that I had, of course, never heard about this 2024 action movie titled "Agents" from director Aditya Awandhe prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2025. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the time to sit down and give it a fair chance.

The pacing of the narrative left much to be desired. It was a rather slow paced narrative, and there just simply wasn't enough of interesting stuff happening throughout the course of the movie as the narrative slowly moved ahead. I am a bit surprised that writers Kapil Bisht, Pranshuman Singh, Farheen Vencapah and Apoorva Verma collectively could manage to put so little contents into an 82 minute runtime.

The dialogue in the movie was pretty atrocious, and it felt like it was written by someone not even in High School. And the accents didn't really do much to promote any enjoyment in the dialogue.

Of course I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, which is actually something I do enjoy whenever I watch a movie. The acting performances in "Agents", however, weren't particularly great. Sure, I've seen worse, but the acting in "Agents" was by no means outstanding.

Watchable, if you have nothing else at hand, but otherwise you might give "Agents" a wide berth. Just take heed, the movie's cover over-sells the movie by a landslide.

I never knew that 'action' could be so slow paced and sleep-inducing.

My rating of director Aditya Awandhe's 2024 action movie "Agents" lands on a three out of ten stars.

This film is a colossal disappointment, and the glowing reviews-anything above a 5-feel like pure fiction. The script is an absolute disaster: predictable, drowning in clichés, and devoid of a single original spark. The action? Bland, lifeless, and so uninspired it barely keeps you awake. As for the performances, they're wooden, unconvincing, and downright painful to endure.

The suspiciously high ratings here are impossible to ignore. It's hard not to wonder if they've been inflated-perhaps by overzealous producers-because this movie doesn't deserve the hype. Do yourself a favor: skip this dumpster fire and save your time and money.

This movie offered decent entertainment value. The storyline about a heist and the subsequent chase was engaging for a one-time watch. The Mauritius scenery was absolutely stunning, enhancing the overall visual experience. However, the characters felt clichéd, and the plot twists were predictable. It's a good pick if you're looking for a movie with beautiful cinematography and some action-packed moments.

The film's editing was effective, maintaining a rhythm that kept the audience invested in the unfolding action. The supporting cast provided moments of levity and tension, adding depth to the film's narrative. The thematic exploration of loyalty and betrayal resonated with the audience, despite the predictable nature of some plot developments. Overall, a satisfactory choice for a relaxed movie night out.

Set in Mauritius, this is a really quite unimaginative action thriller that is largely ruined by some serious overacting by a baddie (who thinks he's Travis Fimmel) and by some fairly shameless heavy hints that their homeland is very much in the ambit of the Chinese. It's those latter folks that agree to exhibit a priceless jade on the island, and it's down to policeman "Shaw" (Nad Sham) to lead the team protecting it. It's here that the wheels start to come off the story. It's pitch black so they decide to take it through dense forest where, of course, they are ambushed and it gets pinched. Now disgraced, his boss is forced to allow "Yuan" (Naomi Willow) to help with the investigation to track it down. The remainder of this might have made for a passable detective yarn had it not been for the really bad acting, clunky writing and a tendency from the director to attempt to create pace and excitement by messing about with the speed of the film. The car chase looks like a commercial for Porsche and/or Mercedes Benz, the combat scenes are choreographed so as to make any decent attempt at continuity all but impossible - and that shows, and Willow's performance is just plain wooden. There's nothing remotely original to it and though only eighty minutes long, it proves to be a long struggle to understand why it's in a cinema at all. Some nice views of Mauritius but the rest of this is poor and derivative, sorry.

This movie is bad in every aspect. It has a horrible script, acting, directing, continuity, even the sound. The script could have been written better by a 4th grader. The acting is completely over the top. The continuity was awful on multiple levels. There is one chase scene where from one shot to the next the road is different. First, it's a one lane road, then a two lane, then back to a one lane, and so on. They are shooting at the bad guys, get on a boat and still shooting. These pistols must have held 50 or 60 rounds each. They never ran out of bullets! If there is nothing else to watch, watch reruns of Green Acres it is better!
