My friends and I were surfing around and decided to rent this film because we live in Nevada, and we go to the desert to shoot guns all the time...haha. We got a kick out of the premise...I recognized all the weapons.
We were all pleasantly surprised, the film takes a turn and it's constant running, danger, and...shooting.
Enjoyed it an apparently there's more coming

If you want a decent sci-fi movie with aliens, this isn't it. If you want decent acting and writing, again, not it.
This is a classic example of what I call lazy writing, where the author writes something highly improbable/unlikely to advance the story. Then on top of that the characters did not behave realistically - not responding anything like an actual person would in similar circumstances. This is all made worse by continuity errors and a general lack of research on certain things (firearms for one).
The acting is barely adequate overall, but some of the characters come across as either wooden or strained when challenged to show emotion. The main female's "meltdown" seemed a bit hamfisted.
The entire premise of the movie wasn't bad, but the idea that humanity needed "help" to build complex structures in the way described was overly contrived. It was if they were saying that ancient humans were too dumb to even talk with each other let alone cooperate with each other.
Overall, not a great movie, but I'll give it 3 out of 10 - you CAN watch it, but I'd suggest doing it with friends and then making fun of the mistakes and acting. You'll enjoy it much better that way.

This is not eve a movie.... it's some tragi-comedy... worst ever. I think the crew and the actors rated it above 2.. LOL Don't loose time on this.... Do not even bother to play 5 minutes of this, you will suffer very bad, believe me!!!! The actors are under any level the operator is using some smartphone with good camera for this i guess.. absolutely bad bad bad performance, play, story line, everything is terrible!!!
great to see the clips form social media come to fruition in the film. awesome camera-work, acting and story. did a great job of tackling a big idea and keeping it intimate within a small group of characters rather than the story being a global, world ending, city destroying cliché that is much too saturated. this lends itself to keeping the info conspiratorial and privy. I believe this angle is why the characters are relatable. IN addition, a good use of the power punch. you see too often a super strong character punching an opponent across the room and it just looks like they are on wires. Agent accomplished this technique while making it not overdone and much more believable. cheers to the cast and crew, cant wait for the follow up!!
The beginning was pretty slow and the shots were artistic, I thought I had the wrong movie based on the trailer. Then everything goes into hyper drive about half way into the movie. The ending was intense and I found myself rooting for the characters, heart pounding. Doesn't usually happen. I'm into scifi, action, and guns, and I felt the movie was pretty realistic. Definitely enjoyable and a nice change of pace since I've seen almost every other scifi. I liked it. Would probably give the film a 5 or 6, but 7 for surprising me.

- TriviaIn an early draft of the screenplay for "Agent," there is a scene in which one character threatens to feed another to a type of pig called a "slothhurst," which swallows it prey whole and digests it over the course of a thousand years. When asked if a slothhurst is a "pig"... or a "space pig," actor/director/producer/writer Derek Ting gleefully responded, "a space pig!" His interlocutors talked him out of using the device in the film. Derek says not including the slothhurst is one of the great regrets of his life.
- GoofsAfter Jim was shot in the back of his left shoulder, he was able to move as if he wasn't injured at all in addition to using it to hold his pistol both handed. Additionally, the blood there appears to have dried up in a shorter space of time than it would in reality.
