    Let's get real, this movie is rubbish. BEWARE FAKE REVIEWS.

    It is obvious Agent is not a real film. It is a kiddie project. Some people might tolerate the bad writing, acting, and story line. But, anyone saying overly nice things is being paid or being polite. I get it. You don't tell a mother her baby is ugly. And this film is ugly.

    To the people getting paid to write fake good comments about this film: STOP. You are helping the filmmakers scam people into buying/renting this bad film. Read the candid comments all over from disappointed viewers who feel ripped off. That's not cool.

    To the filmmakers, if you continue down this path of deception, no one will take you seriously and you will be forgotten.

    Good example how IMDb has lost control over the reviews

    This movie is not good, no need to beat around the bush. Normally i don't care about bad movies, just check it off and forget em, no reason to get upset.

    But to see over 170 (60%) fake ratings and 20 (90%) fake reviews is very shocking. Here you can clearly see how IMDb lost control or doesn't care any more.

    Awful ''movie''

    This is not eve a movie.... it's some tragi-comedy... worst ever. I think the crew and the actors rated it above 2.. LOL Don't loose time on this.... Do not even bother to play 5 minutes of this, you will suffer very bad, believe me!!!! The actors are under any level the operator is using some smartphone with good camera for this i guess.. absolutely bad bad bad performance, play, story line, everything is terrible!!!

    Writing is terrible

    The writing is horrendous. Acting is terrible, but I ignored that since these seem to be a bunch of young people trying. OK fine, but maybe keep your options open. Maybe it's the horrible writing that makes it impossible to act.

    Characters are basic preppy blank faces, nothing interesting about them in my opinion. Backstory on interpersonal relationships between the characters supposed to make it more interesting and give the characters personality? Didn't do it for me here.

    Story is boring, plot didn't go anywhere until it suddenly decided to move and even then it was just a complete let down. Not stimulating or very creative. By the way the writing is absolutely terrible. It's on the cusp of being so bad it's good, but it's not so it's just terrible. I cannot believe there are people rating this up on here but okay different tastes I guess.

    The writing and acting are so so so so terrible. It's so forced and there isn't even anything to force which is the grand irony of it all.

    Not a 0/10

    If you want a decent sci-fi movie with aliens, this isn't it. If you want decent acting and writing, again, not it.

    This is a classic example of what I call lazy writing, where the author writes something highly improbable/unlikely to advance the story. Then on top of that the characters did not behave realistically - not responding anything like an actual person would in similar circumstances. This is all made worse by continuity errors and a general lack of research on certain things (firearms for one).

    The acting is barely adequate overall, but some of the characters come across as either wooden or strained when challenged to show emotion. The main female's "meltdown" seemed a bit hamfisted.

    The entire premise of the movie wasn't bad, but the idea that humanity needed "help" to build complex structures in the way described was overly contrived. It was if they were saying that ancient humans were too dumb to even talk with each other let alone cooperate with each other.

    Overall, not a great movie, but I'll give it 3 out of 10 - you CAN watch it, but I'd suggest doing it with friends and then making fun of the mistakes and acting. You'll enjoy it much better that way.

    • Trivia
      In an early draft of the screenplay for "Agent," there is a scene in which one character threatens to feed another to a type of pig called a "slothhurst," which swallows it prey whole and digests it over the course of a thousand years. When asked if a slothhurst is a "pig"... or a "space pig," actor/director/producer/writer Derek Ting gleefully responded, "a space pig!" His interlocutors talked him out of using the device in the film. Derek says not including the slothhurst is one of the great regrets of his life.

      After Jim was shot in the back of his left shoulder, he was able to move as if he wasn't injured at all in addition to using it to hold his pistol both handed. Additionally, the blood there appears to have dried up in a shorter space of time than it would in reality.
