The Operative

فيلم جيد!

source: The Operative

Its a very european inspired film about a female spy. its like war games with redford and pitt, just a switch of genders and intelligence agencies. the film has got some suspence but its not a thriller. rather a spy drama. but the film are very european way of filmaking, and the long shoots, and long silent runs just waiting for things to happen, makes you look at the watch more than once. the story are a bit complex, and the plot are a bit incoherrent, but the end part are intense. its no more than a spy drama, nothing new or nothing or nothing less than the grumpy old man have seen before. its just recommendable

I wish I would have read critics before I watched it. Such a boring, silly movie! Waste of time! Nothing else

Been really wanting to see this. Very disappointing. I'm not going to get all into the script/ story but was there really one? Did she really care for Farrad? In the ending( horrible) part where she meets him and he asks if it was real the way she looks at him didn't even fit with the scene. It was acted well but just all over and no story to anything. disappointed it could ( key word) have been good..Just read Giuliano-camottta's review and that's exactly what I thought and was trying to convey.

What happen in the end.. did she did..so No story at all total wast of time

A terrible, disgusting ending to what otherwise is an okay but forgettable movie... I will give 3 thumbs up to the actors.

One of the main problems is, that they tried to fit in more than ten ideas in each scene, which caused disturbances and made everything confusing. The actors didn't have the script to play convincingly, so no blame there, they tried. Locations are often too dull. The shooting is very bad and doesn't even try to bring something unique to the screen. The story is just plain idiotic and bad due to the lack of explanation (I don't need every detail, but they just left out a lot and thus made it illogical at too many times). All in all they wasted their budget on a giant mess that should've never been filmed like that. Don't watch unless you're an art student that needs to see a bad example for filmmaking.

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.

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