Review of Agent X

Agent X (2015)
1/10
In the first 60 seconds...

...Agent X rolls out one of the most overused tropes in action drama: the bad guy trains a gun to the head of the hero, BLAM!, the bad guy falls dead -- shot by an unknown person behind. For good measure it quickly jumps to tired trope #2, the old hanging hero's legs around the bad guy's neck.

Two in one, but wait, there's more! Each seen-it-a-million-times-before flop returns later in the episode. I was so hoping they'd go for three, but alas, no.

When you get such lazy derivative writing in the first minute, how much worse can it get? Watch and you'll see. Ludicrous plotting -- mailed-in performances -- action sequences on the cheap. In short: unmitigated garbage.

But do watch so you can see this teeth-gnashingly awful show before the plug gets pulled.
