Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

fellthefil There only few quirks in the movie that seem unrealistic. However with such minimal budget, this is very well made. I know you have seen movies when a man standing in the middle of the gun fight and he wins, killed all 300 bad guys. This is not so in the movie. The fight seen, especially the last one is very precise. They always take cover, which you do in a real tactical gun fight. Movies always forget to do this just because they wanted a better camera angle.There are some quirks in the movie that I didn't like. When the Mia the girl was trying to take the gun from the guy, she was having a hard time. She already have a grip of the gun but couldn't take it. If she is very trained(which they portrayed), she would know how to easily flip the wrist and take the gun in a matter of seconds. I Also do not know where and why a shooter just busting up a door and start attacking, just because of Pizza? It also needed more story on how the prisoners got out? and How the smallpox cause them to be able to escape. Why is it that they didn't get affected by the virus?Anyway, still a great to watch, and I'm forgiving it since the budget is little. It did keep me interested the whole time which is the most important thing and reason why I am giving it an 8.

quincytheodore Tom Clancy's titles have found success on both cinema and video game, so there's bound to be tie-in project along the road. However, Agent Origins is more of teaser for a video game rather than a full movie experience, that's not to say it's low in quality. For the short thirty minutes there are multiple facets of action one would expect from famous name, although there's little depth and intricacy here.This is a simple rendezvous gig for several agents as they gather for one mission. Unfortunately, the backstory of the world, and its viral outbreak theme are not fully fleshed out, its short runtime is mostly used for nifty parkour or shootout. There's no vengeance, patriotism or even greed for motivation, these people just simply meet up and shoot people. It would have been better if the creator had prolonged the action movie to present more than cool military combat sequences, but it is still a visually pleasing work.There are lots of melee and gunslinging action packed into the short movie, certainly poised with brutal choreography and fast pace. It shows some clever tricks fans of action, especially gamers would appreciated. For most parts it's a solid presentation throughout, with the exception of one or two hiccup in screenplay. The effect for gunshot or explosion can be slightly jarring, but it does convey the right color tone for its premise.It's quite a missed opportunity to not produce actual back story, in a work called "Agent Origins", but the flashy and stylish shootout is a crowd pleaser, which understandably its original objective; a long snazzy trailer.

siderite They had the opportunity to give depth to characters that probably do nothing else than shoot people in the game. They did not. The premise is ridiculous as well: a sleeper agency that can be activated only in case of "real" emergencies, meanwhile they live like ordinary citizens. Where is all the training coming from, then?The feel of the short is interesting, with people trying to fend for themselves, while infected people, escaped convicts and eradication squads are roaming the city. The ultimate purpose of the squad is not clear, though. They just meet somewhere and kill the convicts in a rather unconvincing firefight. What is their ultimate goal? How did they become agents in the first place? For a story title Origins, you get nothing more than a text scroll explaining the thing.Bottom line: all you have to do is look up game play videos from shooter games and choose the ones that are the most liked by people and put them together in a coherent story. They did none of this. The actors are mediocre, the visuals are almost bad and the budget ridiculously low.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Tom Clancy's the Division: Agent Origins" is a half-hour live action short film from about a month ago directed by Devin Graham and Adrian Picardi. I am not an expert on the Tom Clancy video game series, but judging from this short film I have not missed a whole lot. It is certainly style over substance. The story is almost entirely forgettable and it's really all about the shooting, firearms and action scenes. Never a convincing foundation for a film. Maybe huge fans of the video games will enjoy it, but I personally found it pretty much completely empty and did not care for any of the characters in here, probably because character development is almost entirely non-existent in this little film. I do not recommend the watch. Thumbs down.
