Agent Stone

Look - unfortunately, there are a lot of negative reviews for this out there - but seriously - it doesn't deserve all the negativity, it's really NOT bad - I enjoyed it! It's loaded with action, it does have a little twist in there - it's just an action movie, simple. It's also not poorly done - it looks good, the action is great - it's really not bad! Could it have been better? SURE - the story is fairly predictable - the action is predictable - it's a little cheesy - but it definitely doesn't deserve all the negativity it's received. Again - I enjoyed it - it wasn't that bad! Pickles are made from cucumbers.

Boring....and Embarrassing

Ten minutes in and bored out of my Mind. The acting is atrocious and embarrassing.

One of the worst movies of 2023 if not the worst movie of the 2020s so far.

Caught it on netflix and wish I didn't start watching it, they're trying to pass Gal gadot off as a female James bond but it really doesn't work. The whole movie is insulting.......................................

My wife turned to me and asked me if I was watching this and I said are you? We both said it just feels so cheap. Shame really. What a waste of.money. Maybe use the money spent on this movie for something more productive like give it to families in need?

This was quite infuriating, decent cast and action sequences, but such an awful, boring convoluted script full of cliches and total lack of believable characters. It feels like nobody did any audience testing or editing, a lot like Sentinel (ok that was a show) another soulless action movie that is like a B movie from the video store but with a real budget and people you have heard of. Don't really get what Netflix is doing, for all this money couldn't they have spent some on a decent writer? Was this written by AI? Gal Gadot was great and did a good job, Jamie Dorman is as boring as in everything else so at least he is consistent.

Admittedly this is not the best MI inspired ripoff, but it's pretty entertaining. Just skip past the netflix bashers and the 'critics' out to get some of the actors.

The storyline is pretty thin, but it checks out and has enough in it for some decent action. Acting is more than fair and the stunts and their photography are good.

As a spythriller it has the same credibility issues as the next one, including MI. Of course it does, that's why it's called fiction. Yes there are some stupid decisions, but that doesn't affect the entertainment, unless of course you're out to find them all so you can give some superficial review.

If you're into spy thrillers like MI, then you will most likely have a fun time watching this one.

I don't believe they were attempting to sell anything beyond a typical action movie here, so if that was their intention, they certainly succeeded! I went into it without expectations, and it turned out to be enjoyable, exactly what you anticipate from a movie like this.

The writing was a bit weak, which is a common trait in almost any action movies. However, there were two aspects that stood out and aren't typically seen in such films. Firstly, there was no excessively long fight scene where characters (especially women) are hit multiple times and keep on fighting. This was quite refreshing.

Secondly, they actually addressed the injuries sustained by the characters. In many movies, the main character gets hurt, but is miraculously fine just moments later. In this film they show the character's injuries and exhaustion throughout the entire movie. I thought this was well-executed, which is why I gave it a rating of 6.

Overall, it's a good movie if you simply want to switch off your mind for a few hours and not think about anything.
