Agent Recon

I was honestly looking forward to seeing this movie mainly because of the one and only Chuck Norris. I was trying to decide if I should rent the film or watch for free on a pirated website. Of course chose the pirated. Sat back as the film started. 12 minutes go by and honestly I had no idea what the hell was going on. No sense of direction and the lead actor Derek Ting (who is also the director and writer) was just godawful and annoy. The antagonist was laughable. The random kills were hilarious. The editing was choppy. Chuck Norris was in the film for about 10 minutes and didn't do anything till the end which was honestly the good thing about this mess. Wish I tuned out after the 12 minutes went by. Dear Derek Ting, please never make another movie.

I truly can't imagine why Chuck would even allow himself to be seen in this. The level of acting is below that of earthworms.

One of the worst films I've ever seen. Storyline is complete garbage. Fighting was so predictable and unexciting. It puts the term science fiction to shame by the lack of imagination and attention to detail. There's no unpredictable outcome that keeps you in suspense.

I fell asleep several times through this and will use it again if I have trouble falling asleep some nights.

I can't even think of other ways to describe how bad this was. What a complete waste of time it was to watch!

Don't watch this!

Agent 1 was so bad I laughed. Agent 2 had me cringing. Agent 3 had me whimpering in a fetal position.

With Agent Recon, Derek Ting continues his hot streak of destroying his own franchise, his own career, and the careers of others with a laughably bad vanity project that is a strong awards contender for Worst Movie of 2024.

I feel bad for Chuck Norris and Marc Singer for getting put into such a horrible mess.

Watching this was pure torture. Even the CIA would not force prisoners to watch this. The writing, acting, and directing are uncomfortably embarrassing. The try-hard, goofy protagonist has no star power and his action scenes were total cringe. Each movie just makes him a bigger laughingstock.

Not worth watching, even if it's free.

My son and I watched this because we are big Chuck Norris fans. We should have trusted the other reviews. Not only did the plot make almost no sense, it seemed to forgets on plot most of the time. You learn at the start that bad guys can only be killed with shots to the liver (so not a spoiler IMHO) yet most shots seem to be to the shoulder. Camera work really enjoyed lots of close ups over and over. They are in the desert, no it's forest mountains, I mean a cave, what? It just made no sense. Acting was average but hard to tell since lack of a plot tended to distract. Green screen was glaringly obvious, especially at the end.

There's something to be said about a truly disastrous film, a film forever indelible in your memory because it's so uniquely bad, it can only be deemed an achievement. The sort of film where everyone involved was definitely trying to do something; it's just not entirely clear what. Agent Recon is that film.

How do you mess up this badly when you have Chuck Norris? Chuck Norris deserved better than this. Not sure where they found that lead, but he is a complete buffoon. This film is an insult to Chuck Norris and deeply upsetting to his fans.

There is nothing good to be said about this film, except that Agent Recon is a good example of bad filmmaking.
