The Secret Agent (2017)

The life of the "knights of the cloak and sword" has always been in the sights of cinematographers, who usually made it dramatic, but mostly by making epic-heroic films. This is the style of Hollywood for the most part, covered with a pretentious and brilliant gloss, even if the tape is trying to create an atmosphere of pseudo-documentality. But you can usually feel the texture of real everyday life in the paintings of European cinematographers, and we can see the film of this school "Secret Agent" (Unlocked) by English director Michael Apted, based on the script by Peter O'Brien in cinemas.

So, according to the plot, Agent Alice Racine, who is experiencing a crisis after, in her opinion, a failed task, is forced to return to operational work, where she immediately faces a cycle of insidious plans, where everything turns out to be completely different from what it seems at first glance. The stake here is extraordinary - the lives of many thousands of people, and her own, and it depends on how she looks into the eyes of her inner demons, on her ability to concentrate, whether she wins or loses...

Despite the rather, at first glance, cliché of the plot and the basics of the plot, we can see a completely "different" movie than a whole army of similar Hollywood films. In general, the authors decided to look at people on both sides of the law as individuals living everyday lives - but at the same time, they can come together in a deadly battle, using all their skills.

London is quite interesting in this film. For the most part, it is not the luxurious capital of Great Britain, but a city with stone slums, in which numerous migrants are trying to survive one way or another, some of whom do hard work, but a few carry the seeds of death and hatred... It is also quite interesting to remove the halo of romanticism from representatives of the special services, as well as terrorist leaders - for them, people are often chips on the big map of the game. Actually, the dynamics of the film cannot be called fast, but its pace is sufficient to interest the viewer, and at the same time, reveal a peculiar, integral and interesting scenario, which became the best realized scenario in 2008. The camerawork is implemented without unnecessary "exaggerations", perhaps in order to preserve the naturalness of the narration.

Actually, the actors' game. She weaves well into the script, in addition to the lead actress Noomi Rapace, the authors have assembled a whole constellation of actors who played key characters - Orlando Bloom and Michael Douglas. The character of Yazid Khalil is also interesting because he was played by Makram Furi, a man who turns out to be a complex character, although at first we can only see a fanatic in him.

As a conclusion, "Secret Agent" is a film that successfully combines both the intrigue of a spy thriller and psychological cinema itself without an obvious departure into a pretentious style. What should be noted is that this is a case where you need to pay special attention to both the development of the plot and the plot moves. Using our 1xbet promo code you can get the best bonuses.
