Оперативник (The Operative)

Бредшоу

The Operative utterly defeats all of these hopes, chiefly in being at all times extremely boring. The performances of Kruger and Freeman are very uncertain and unconvincing; this becomes even more of a problem because we are supposed to believe in some sort of friendship between them, or even more than friendship. At the end of this long, long story you feel like you have boarded a roller-coaster ride at a funfair that only chugs along at ground-level: very slowly.

The wave of intricately detailed espionage drama on television in recent years — The Night Manager, Homeland, The Little Drummer Girl — has raised the bar for this genre, making The Operative seem a rather plodding two hours by comparison, not to mention unsatisfying, given its rushed open ending. It's hard to imagine this getting noticed outside the co-production territories.

«Оперативница» дикая муть, непонятно что в этом фильме привлекло Крюгер и Фримана (Мартина).
