Personal Rating: 4.5/10.0

Sometimes, the motive of the agent to retire is actually not fundamentally different from that of a prostitute. One is to save life for love, and the other is to be shameless for love. It's not to deny that "everyone has the right to a happy life", it's just that killers and prostitutes have all lost their wings in the first half of their lives, and if they want to live a serious life in the second half of their lives, God won't let it go so easily. them. Moreover, the collateral damage of these "broom stars" is often unavoidable and extremely serious. In a word, you can't afford to hurt these people.

"The Complete Agent" roughly tells the vulgar and rotten story of a similar agent falling in love, and as a blockbuster element, Hollywood is obviously not tired of it: "Mrs. Smith", "Mission: Impossible 3", "Dangerous" "War", "Red Flame Battlefield" and other films have been involved in the main or secondary, and the Chinese propaganda poster of "Reorganization Agent" even has the concept of "the most explosive action comedy after "Mrs. Smith". From the perspective of the finished film, there is a reason to say this. For example, the golden rules that must be followed in such films are indeed traceable in "The Secret Service": hit people without hitting the face; life can be lost, hair can't be messed up; fragrance Cars, beautiful women, and muscular men, none of them can be missing; killing people (secondary), talking about love (mainly); just traveling; short guns and cannons readily available; conspiracy theories; they lived happily ever after… ...but if you're expecting the adrenaline rush of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" from "The Rearrangement", you're probably going to miss out. Most of the time, the shock of the film is not due to the tension of the plot, but from the high-decibel roar of the cinema speakers.

It's understandable that a movie has one flaw or another, but when the flaw is big enough to ruin the movie, it's basically a bad movie. "The Secret Service" is undoubtedly a bad film, and what ruins it is the indecentness in the film's bones. The most prominent performance is the randomness of the narrative. You can say that the editing of this film is like running clouds and flowing water, but this is also the characteristic of running account narrative. Taking "Mission: Impossible 3" as a reference, the same wife who is in the dark, the same agent who works for the government, and the same intensive desperate journey, if you use "Mission Impossible 3" to describe "Mission Impossible 3", "Integrated Agent" At best, it is "the bedside room leaks without a dry place, and the rain is like numbness and the feet are not cut off". Wife here, even if your husband kills someone, even if you show a little panic, your ability to adapt is too strong! The psychological transition from a professional working girl to a professional hitting girl is simply omitted in "Reorganizing the Secret Service". Husband here, besides selling meat and being handsome, what else would you do? A muscular man with shorts standing in the elevator is already the rest of the game "The Loser". The agents' various awesome skills have officially become cannon fodder on the love front in "The Reorganization Agent". Ashton Kutcher's role in the film is closer to an unknown civilian advisor than to a government-employed agent, because even the crappiest agent isn't just throwing a CIA logo and knocking one out A nameless guy, who can get past after a few rides (there is no comparison with 007 here, shame...). Fleeing here, the killers who can put on the table are almost as mentally retarded as the Russian gangsters in "Agent Next Door". The seven killers known as "killers" can't even kill a retired agent, which is really an insult to the profession of killers. Let's just assume that the three years of lurking life have smoothed out their edges and corners, so that they can watch the film calmly without feeling underestimated IQ.

Everything has a reason to exist, and some bad movies are really bad, but they are so bad that they are pleasing to the eye, so bad that they are so bad that they are so typical ("Saw" series, "Scream" series...). Although "The Complete Agent" is not so high-quality, it does not affect its offering some small surprises (unfortunately, some small surprises have degenerated into clichés in the end. For example, the appearance of the first killer is very surprising, quite surprising, who Knowing that the film did not want to make progress and used this method six times in a row, the surprise was gone.) For example, in the film cast, just ignore Ashton Kutcher, who is married to Demi Moore who is almost a mother, and you will find Tom Selleck here, who played Monica's ex-boyfriend in "Friends" Richard, do you feel nostalgic seeing him? And they're still talking about his moustache in "The Who's Who"; and Kevin Sussman, the comic shop owner in "The Big Bang Theory," with his piercing The appearance of the otaku is really unforgettable, this time he turned into a killer... he is still very otaku; the most surprising thing is the singer Usher, the feeling of the king still shines in the uniforms of the supermarket staff. In fact, it's not very new for singers to make guest appearances or even star in a movie. Ludacris in "Fast and Furious 2", Chris Brown and TI in "The Robber" a while ago, etc. belong to this category. As for Justin Timberlake, he has already been on the big screen like a duck to water, and he is about to perform an R-rated show with Cameron Diaz in the new work "Bad Teacher" that is quite anticipated. There is also Gwyneth Paltrow, a three-dimensional star of film, television and singing. In the film career, she won the Oscar for "Shakespeare in Love" and participated in the popular American drama "Glee" to show her singing voice. Meishang sang "Forget You" with Cee-Lo Green, and "a woman without talent is a virtue", all of which are billowing clouds. If you sing and perform well, you will act, and if you perform well, you will sing. It is mutually beneficial. Why not do it? In addition, there are also some cross-line performances that sometimes bring unexpected results. I remember that the performance of boxing champion Tyson in "The Hangover" that year also achieved the dark horse performance of "The Hangover" to a certain extent. The style is not divided, and it seems that this is the case.
