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.

The Assistant is a muted, tight story that is more of a message than a movie. The main character is played by Ozark's Julia Garner as she carries about her mundane workday, beginning in the early hours of the morning until the late night, serving the demands of a powerful, unseen boss. She has to tidy up after him, bring his food, and hide the signs of questionable encounters he's having with women subordinates, which everyone else in the office seems to have accepted as the norm. Garner is fantastic and convincing in a role that is mostly non-verbal and the audience can see the tension she endures on a regular basis with no end in sight. It subtly reveals how this type of behavior can happen as an open secret and not be addressed.
The Crown early seasons were my favorite seasons. Season 1 in particular was spectacular as it followed a young Princess Elizabeth who later becomes Queen due to extraordinary circumstances. She didn't expect it at the young age of 25. She never has a normal life afterwards and has to learn confidence. In season 2, we see how it affects the family, particularly Princess Margaret.
Seasons 3-4 had some of my favorite casts. Olivia Coleman did a magnificent job portraying The Queen as strong. This is the peak of the writing for The Crown.
In later seasons, we see Princess Diana getting the spotlight. There were some strange cast choices, such as Prince Harry.
Overall, it's an entertaining show inspired by true events, although the dialogue is not really historically accurate.
