Agent Kelly

I think it must be the models who turn to acting and succeed that makes people think acting is easy. See she did it so I can too.

It's not true. Acting is a skill and one Caroline Spence doesn't have. That comes through clearly but then the story drags and doesn't seem coherent. The message is - don't bother with this although I doubt very few will get past the first ten minutes. I have it a chance. I gave it 25 minutes before I turned it off.

5 minutes into it and I know it's a low budget movie which is poorly acted. Script is unreal and speech is not natural going. In a nutshell, a lady agent avenges the killing of her friend and in the midst of the revenge, she becomes the hunted. The music throughout the movie seems tense but there's really not a lot to see except for the lady lead running around, at times walking around and looking around for anyone following her. It's slow and I used the forward button a lot. The strange thing about this movie is that there's no face to face conversation - just speaking over the phone. Bin not sure what this is supposed to achieve. There are also only a handful of people in this movie. Giving it 3 stars for soundtrack and scenery. There's really no reason to watch this movie.

Initially, I confused this with Assassin's Target, the other "Hitwoman in Spain with a fondness for poison" movie. Really: what are the odds? This is sparser, yet perhaps more effective. It certainly puts over the utter loneliness of Kelly's life: there's not a single face-to-face conversation in the film, everything being told in phone-calls and voice-over.

You need more than shaky cam and overly dramatic mood music to make a decent movie. You also need scenes and dialogue that let's the viewer figure thing out what's going on rather than have the characters spell it out to each other in their conversations. OTOH, when the scenes mostly just show a woman walking around aimlessly (with loud mood music) I suppose you need to let the audience know what's going on somehow.

This movie seems devoid of anything more than the most basic story telling craft.

If this truly is an experimental film, then the result of the experiment is that this is not a good way to make a film.

If you're fully invested in watching Caroline Spence (Agent Kelly) walk or even perhaps run around for a good 50 minutes of screen time then baby, you've found the right movie.

Agent Kelly is a suspense action thriller which doesn't do what's on the tin. Lack of mystery or drama presented on screen and it looks more like a holiday film more than anything.
