Sometimes I like to watch movies that have a score of 3 or lower out of 10, just to see how terrible it is. How bad can it really be? I never believe a score can be that low and each and every time I go yeah that movie deserves it. I've seen a few movies like this now, and a lot of them have one thing in common that helps them all seem to be churned out by the same terrible movie factory. No it's not the bad acting , choppy editing, repetitive scores, even more bad acting and nonsensical writing. No, what they have in common is the protagonist, writer, producer and director are all the same person, instead of doing one thing well, or at the very least adequately, they do multiple jobs terribly. This may seem mean, but I don't think there is anyone else to blame, he took all the jobs. With only a handful of reviews it is possible that Derek Ting will read this, but really it doesn't matter because it won't discourage him from doing what he does. The idea that he can go around and tell people he's an actor, director, writer and producer irks me a little but what can you do? Irks me a little but what can you do.
2/10 because at least the camera was in focus and the audio was clear.

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.
This is so so so so bad, and ive seen all of Chucks movies and all other action movies from 80's.(gen Z er) all 10 times better than this. This even feels like it was made in the 80s. Only giving 1 star for the movie but the 2 extra just for Chuck being active again after 12 years. I cant say what is worse, the actions/fights or the dialects?? No build up of the characters. The engineering in the scenes is also so so bad, and im an engineer.
Poor Chuck for having do deal with this. I think a college class could have made a better movie.
I stopped watching it after 25 minutes of realy realy trying to follow through it.....i tried.

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.
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.
