Counterintelligence

Christopher Sakr's latest film couldn't be more perfect for what we are experiencing now across the US, not only in Portland where this film takes place. But it's more than a historic snapshot of the 2016 election. Good performances and enough plot twists kept this viewer engaged with some good laughs throughout.

It's hard to do a good spy thriller, especially on an indie budget. I thought this film was very solid. It had a great build-up of tension with a couple of humorous moments spread throughout. There was a decent amount of parts I didn't see coming. I think this is one worth checking out if you are a fan of some classic espionage.

What are the odds of 15 "different" reviewers having reviewed practically all the same movies? Hmm, that tells you a lot about a movie when "reviews" have to be paid for.

Counterintelligence has a lot of fun with the spy/espionage genre. Some good lines and a breakneck pace keep you on the edge of your seat. This film is well worth your time!!

During these interesting times, this film felt very present. The lead character Angela is working as an assistant and is forced to help Abel to deliver a briefcase. This film was well-acted, suspenseful, and timely seeing the protests in Portland today. The indie filming with grit and handheld shots worked in its favor making us feel part of the story and engaged in Angela's struggle. Well worth your time.
