Agent Review: A Predictable Spy Thriller With A Weak Story And Subpar Direction

Agent Movie Introduction:

Akhil Akkineni picked a high-octane action thriller for his next after-tasting success with a matured love story 'Most Eligible Bachelor.' The movie written by Vakkantham Vamsi and directed by Surender Reddy was in production for a very long time. Malayalam superstar Mammootty played an important role in the movie. Bollywood actor Dino Morea was roped in for this spy action film, marking his Telugu debut.

The success of Agent is crucial for the director, writer, and actors in it. Dino Morea openly said that he would like to work in Telugu and this movie would bring him more opportunities.

Agent Story:

Colonel Mahadev alias Devil(Mammootty) is an exceptional RAW agent and is a mentor to Rama Krishna alias Rikki, known as Agent Wild(Akhil Akkineni). Mahadev is also the trainer of former agent God (Dino Morea), who turns against the system and becomes the head of the underworld. He controls every government and political move in India.

Rikki adores Devil and dreams of becoming a RAW agent like him. An ethical hacker at first, Rikki meets and falls in love with Sakshi Vaidya (Vidya) but forgoes his feelings to become an agent. He then joins hands with a Minister, who abuses Vidya.

Meanwhile, Mahadev, who believes Rikki's cranky behaviour will camouflage his identity as an agent takes him under his wings and trains. Knowing this, God lets Rikki take over his kingdom. What happens next is to be seen on the big screen.

Performances:

Akhil Akkineni transformed himself into an agent with a beefed-up physique and body language. He trained hard, spent several years, and worked hard for Agent. But, an uninteresting story coupled with subpar direction and screenplay played the spoilsport here for Agent.

Akhil manages to impress the viewers with his honest portrayal of the character and brings his all to the table. Mammootty is terrific in the role of Colonel Mahadev. The rest of them portrayed their roles within the scope.

Agent Analysis:

Unfortunately, the movie doesn't interest the viewers at all. There are several reasons why the film didn't work with a routine story with predictability and an uninteresting screenplay. Agent Rikki's character has some novelty but that doesn't aid in salvaging the film.

The production values are pretty good and top-class. The computer graphics and fight sequences are average. There is an interval bang after the hero fighting 60 people with heavy machinery, coming out without a single scratch. These things remind you of watching a regional flick. The love track is a very routine one.
