Review: Agent Game
In the present day, a team of ops is on a mission to detain a person of interest. In flashbacks from several weeks earlier, we learn that Dermot Mulroney was part of an interrogation of a suspected terrorist (Barkhad Abdi). Mulroney suspects something is fishy about this situation, meanwhile back in the present day Adan Canto is similarly pondering the nature of his mission. Do you think the two missions might end up related? The man behind both of these missions is Mel Gibson, head of some shadowy intelligence agency. Katie Cassidy plays one of the ops, Jason Isaacs plays Mulroney’s comrade. Below par if not abysmal spy nonsense from 2022 has three decent performances but it’s overall disjointed and messy to the point of irritation. Couple that with a dreadfully miscast, one-note Katie Cassidy and you’re not gonna have a good time here. Directed by Grant S. Johnson, there are a few moments here and there where it doesn’t suck, but the screenplay and editing are a complete mess.
