A team of operatives is on a mission to sink a cargo vessel carrying illegal weapons for a faction in the Angolan Civil War. But then, things start to go wrong. A dark look at the Janus-faced nature of international espionage and counter-terrorism, anchored loosely in the infamous 'Opération Satanique'. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)

I am surprised by the very low rating on FilmBooster, which, in my opinion, does not correspond to reality. Secret Agents loosely draws inspiration from a few-year-old scandal when the French Secret Service sank a Greenpeace organization ship in the Pacific Ocean. The low rating stems from the fact that the film, with its screenplay and direction, is miles away from the typical popcorn action production with exaggerated stylized action and a fast-paced plot. This film shows the more prosaic and realistic side of secret service work, endless hours of waiting for orders, tiresome surveillance that often leads nowhere, but also the uncertainty of what awaits the agents after the mission. It has a very decent cast, with Monica Bellucci in particular showing that she is not just a decoration, but that she also possesses a considerable amount of character acting. You will also get to see a few fights, corpses, and chases, but they are certainly not essential in this film. Overall impression: 75%.
