Watch Agent Red For Free

It is a performances centric movie

Disappointment for a huge fan!

A Disappointing Continuation

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

Apparently there's a deadly "bio-weapon" out there called Agent Red which, if released to the public, would kill many people horribly. Captain Matt Hendricks (Dolph) is assigned to go aboard a submarine and pick it up, to deliver it back to the U.S. Government. Helping him out is potential love interest Dr. Linda Christian (Paul). When the sub is hijacked by some evil Russians who want the Agent Red, Hendricks and Linda must fight them and get the Agent Red back safely. What will happen, and will anyone care? Agent Red should be shown in film schools as a perfect example of how NOT to make a movie. All this supposed "movie" consists of is a disjointed mishmash of stock footage from a bunch of different sources. Playing "spot the stock footage" isn't really the same thing as enjoying a movie. It's just insulting to audiences. It assumes they are just idiots who don't know anything. Working off of this absurd premise, Damian Lee once again proves he's a hack, and Jim Wynorski had to come in and reshoot much of the footage. Again, not a great sign.As if suffering through yet another junky submarine slog wasn't enough, this movie is talky, yet without any character development. It's the worst of all worlds. It's impossible to care about the proceedings. Even Dolph can't save this trainwreck (sub-wreck?) of a movie. Really the only people that would be watching this are Dolph fans to begin with, and this is just a slap in their faces. Most of this isn't really Dolph's fault. It's Lee and producer Andrew Stevens. What were they thinking? Did they honestly believe anyone in the world would actually like this crud? There's not even really any action to speak of, maybe a few brief fights, shootings, and some stock-footage explosions. This barely qualifies. But it does have every cliché imaginable, including the "wacky taxi driver", naturally named Ziggy (Allan Kolman). Is this movie Counter Measures (1999)? Is it Storm Catcher (1999)? Who can tell? Even though Dolph's name here is Hendricks, in the stock footage "he" wears a suit with the name tag "Holloway". Did no one notice this during (what passed for) the editing process? Agent Red is what happens when footage is cobbled together, and a presumed movie is assembled, but without any surprises or intelligence. The presence of Dolph prevents this from being a zero star movie, but in all other aspects, it really is.Assembling footage is not the same thing as making a movie, which the horrendousness of Agent Red amply proves.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

A Marine is sent on a mission to supervise in a Navy secret mission on a submarine. The mission is led by his ex-fiancé. Soon once the sub is in route it is taken over by Russians on board. The mission was a simple one; To get back a highly contagious virus made by Americans, stolen by Russians and now given back to the U.S. (which is completely stupid in theory) Bad guys on board are sick of the use of chemical warfare and want to prove to the world how wrong it is...ahem...so they plan to attach the chemical to warheads and shoot them to New York and Moscow to spread the disease there...OK yea that will teach them war is wrong by killing millions of innocents..But anyway, Dolph is on board and of course he's not gonna let this happen..oops did I spoil the ending for you? This movie was pretty bad, slow and boring with a horrible cast. I love Dolph Lundgren so thats why I got it , and hes a cheesy action star, but I am a huge fan so it's all good. No one else did any good on this film. Director/writer Damian Lee brought nothing new to the table, many of the best shots were actually edited from films like Blown Away and Crimson Tide. Can't give him any writing credits either because this is so much like the movie Counter Measures from 99 with Michael Dudikof.The movie was produced by legendary B-movie/soft-core porn director/ producer Jim Wynorski, but on the credits he used his alias name Nobel Henry. He even did many scenes of re-shooting, but didn't allow his name on as director. Thats bad, when a guy who has done as much garbage as Jim has, doesn't even want his name attached to it.Bottom line it has some decent action with Lundgren, but I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone - very low budget, nothing new or original. Does have some pretty good stuff the first 10-15 minutes with great blood splatter and action, once on the Submarine it lacks any great action though. Stephen Macht had a small part in the film and thats a bonus I have always liked him.I am not one to notice or care about such things as kissing in an action film, but I have to say that the worst on screen kiss ever happened at the end of this film..Movie had a great quote...Lundgrens character is asked "ever heard of Agent Red" He replies "sounds like a bad action movie" --- funny! 2/10 stars

WARNING: THIS COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING: THIS COMMENT CONTAINS Spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OK, number one, there were a lot of mistakes and goofs, such as the concrete floors in the sub others talk about, and also, the "villain", the terrorist plotting to destroy New York and Moscow, doesn't seem threatening at all and could almost be on a comedy show. He's a terrible villain. Then, the aircraft fire missiles, and lo and behold, they turn into torpedoes! None of the torpedoes hit the sub, even though no decoys are fired, and yet the sub still takes hits. The same scene is shown underwater with the sub multiple times. And, the crew seems to die rather quickly from the virus, though the villain, Kretz has a vile of it crammed in his mouth and survives for a very long time. And Nadia (Natalie Radford)'s performance was not convincing at all. She seems almost pathetic. Overall, it was OK, as I've always been a sucker for submarine movies, but if you want a good submarine movie, get U-571 or K-19: The Widowmaker, as this one is quite poor, and the goofs are all too obvious.

This is probably Dolphs worst film besides Stormcatcher, and although i was expecting something bad i was pleasantly surprised, in that it had some good moments. I am not a fan of Damien Lee he is not a director who is likely to produce anything above the average, but this film was better than i thought, they do take that old action film cliché of the bad pun to new heights where every sentence by one person is replied sarcastically by another and some times to funny effect but the dialogue is an exaggerated version of an Arnie script. Damien Lee's direction of the action scenes is annoying at times with shots so close up it ruins the fights, but there is an attempt at some Woo'esque action but it must be pointed out that the best action scene was borrowed from Stormcatcher, they actually took out a whole scene and in Stormcatcher the bloke in the scene was not Dolph but it is supposed to be him in Agent red (all of a sudden Dolph is about 5ft 11 instead of 6,5.), and it must be pointed out that Tony Hickox is a much better director. Basically this film is a very cliché action film that is not in anyway stylish or well scripted but it is funny, notably the bad Russian accents and the puns, one of which had me in stitches when Dolphs sergeant is briefing him on his mission saying "have you ever heard of agent red" and Dolph replies " it sounds like a bad action movie", so at least the makers of this new they were not making a classic, overall this is not horrendous but is still pretty bad,you could quite easily stomach the full ninety minutes on a good day, if only for the hilariously cheesy dialogue but if you have a choice between this and an earlier Dolph flick theplace this nicely back on the shelf. This is a tragic low point in Dolph's career. *
