Agent X (2015)
A fun, clever action movie — for the small screen
I hadn't seen any of the promos for this show — so I had no idea what to expect.
Based on the show's description, I decided to give it a try...
I was a bit blown away, to be honest. The show is very impressive. It feels like Bond/Bourne made for TV.
The cast is all excellent. "Agent X" is perfect in his role — and Sharon Stone is likable and convincing as the Vice President. (I always considered her a femme fatale, but it seems she has real acting ability. She is totally believable and appealing here.)
I only planned to watch an hour of the premiere — and save the rest for another day, but . . . I got sucked in!
One last thing I wanted to say about this show: I really do *not* like when action movies take themselves seriously. That's not the point of the genre! Agent X is always *fun,* though — and has some funny asides. (For instance, when Sharon enters a foreboding tunnel discovered under her house, she says, "This better lead to the wine cellar.")
Like other great shows on cable, this one is clearly binge-worthy . . . I'll be watching for the rest of the season.
