AGENT RED (2000)

MORGAN'S RATING

Matt Hendricks is the U.S. Navy's top Marine Special Operations Commander and he is facing his toughest challenge yet -- to personally escort the deadliest viral weapon on the planet back to a safe storage facility. Aboard the submarine the USS New Orleans, the deadly chemical is locked away and the mission is business as usual until a Russian terrorist group boards the vessel and takes the crew hostage. Their plan -- to spread the virus over a major American city. Miles below the ocean's surface, with the U.S. Navy attacking from within, Hendricks must battle the enemy and keep the deadly virus sealed, before it escapes and annihilates humanity.

CRITICAL COMMENTS

"Agent Red is typical tough guy fare, full of atrocious acting, an overblown plot and some of the worst dialogue ever to appear on film." -- Ryan Cracknell, Apollo Guide

Kretz: You know there is an old saying in Russia. It is better to catch bees with honey than it is with shit.

General Stillwell: Never heard of the Agent Red? Matt: It sounds like a bad action movie.

"...abundant plot holes and weak dialogue keep this movie from becoming an all out fun action flick." -- Mike Spring, DVD Angle

Nadia: You lied to get me into bed. General Minowski: A man's obligation to his creation.
