What a waste of my time!!!

An absolute waste of money

Absolutely brilliant

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Like the title says ,this movie wants to give the impression its a realistic view at the life of secret agents.These people are usually ex-special forces people,who become something like mercenaries for usually executing the dirty deeds of governments.As such,their problem is they know too many secrets,and their employers cannot trust them completely. All this may be true,but i think its exaggerated in this movie.Secret agents are probably expendable like any soldier,because they are basically soldiers,but i doubt there isn't some code of operation in this world that they can rely on. ____________SPOILERS_________________In this movie its almost as if their main enemy is their employer.I very much doubt this to be true. As far as realism goes,its not that realistic either.The truth is these kind of operations are totally unglamorous and the idea is just to get the job done.I doubt anyone would book these people in a luxury hotel and give them to drive a luxury car.They would probably operate directly from some boat and nobody would even get to see them at all.So,as a movie its still mostly glamorous fantasy and having Monica Bellucci in it helps very much to this end.I enjoyed it,and i don't think its very much different than Hollywood,with just a touch of French style.

Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel team up again after "Irreversible" in this decent movie that I recommend due to its simplicity and gripping storyline. Despite some definite defects (Bellucci's acting firstly), it shows a couple well working together and having a strong chemistry; a lot of intrigues, cover ups, action scenes. Shot in Casablanca, Geneva and Southern France (I guess) it can be seen as a motion picture that rarely loses its grip, well scripted and acted. The only objections I can find are Monica's Bellucci's role and the shortage of something that might have avoided the film to fall into the ordinary spy genre, like a stage trick revealing something new.

good casting doesn't mean that a movie is good. it only win in fame but not the audience/spectators. good casting isn't the important element of a good movie. good work from actors and good story plot is.== Monica bellucci, irreversible's Alex, is pretty ... so this film emphasize on selling her...and her husband, vince (vincent cassel) is her couple agent. like irreversible, like brotherhood of wolf, only sell this popular couples...remember that, good cast, popular girl (Monica bellucci) is not enough, but only a good storyline is.to conclude, there is nothing good to be remembered here. Bad film.not a good actress, pretty actress can hold all spectators, if your storyline is as good as frighteners, yeah it can hold many many spectators! but this movie only sells the vincent cassel couples! only sell these 2 ppl isn't enough. Monica is pretty but if we only want to see her beauty, Malena/Bro. of wolf/irreversible can satisfy us. remember, pretty actress isn't the only point for a movie to win.can you all see matrix 2 and 3? though the hi-tech wins but it is boring than matrix 1, why? because ppl there only emphasize on the tech used there, but not improve the storyline. so it lose when compared to matrix 1!To conclude on matrix series, it tells that..."good casting isn't everything, good storyline is(find the right actors)"!

Hi! First of all I have to say that I really enjoyed 'Agents secrets'. I wasn't disappointed as many seems to be because I knew what kind of film I was going to see... By this, I would mean that it is a 'Schoendoerffer movie' i.e. a movie that is not focusing on a special mission or on action but rather on people, what implies their job, on their daily life...even if they are spies. It was the same in one of his prior movies 'scenes de crimes'. So, don't expect to be staggered by special effects or by an unexpected end. You're not in 'M.I.1' or in 'The Usual suspects' - even if I also appreciated these movies- , what matters is people, their relations, their perception of their job... It was really a good moment and it does not really matter if at the end everything is not fully explained. It's not the the director's main purpose at all...
