The Operative

Good Cast. But the whole film built up to a climax that never happened. Ultimately dissapointing.

Excellent slow boil espionage thriller. Flawless performances, brilliant screenplay and a slap in the face to expected norms.

Diane Kruger is a very special beauty. And a very talented actress. A unique personality. This is her movie, she's on screen almost all the time. Martin Freeman is very natural and credible in the role of Thomas. Cas Anvar is just as good in the role of Farhad. But the film could have been much better, there are gaps in the script and in directing. Just 5 stars, all for Diane Kruger and the other actors.

This film was certainly not as bad as some of the other reviews indicated. While not taking everything so seriously, the movie absolutely kept my interest, and there were some truly tense moments throughout the film. Definitely not boring at all, and the acting was excellent.

In essence, a decent spy film. Interesting, in my case, for Diane Kruger and Martin Freeman. The end can be the most satisfactory. A film about Iran, with not so bad romance story and not the worst portrait of independent woman. Good acting, decent crafted story .
