Polarization of opinions with the film by the Russo brothers
Below, we share the divisive criticism of The Unseen Agent, the most expensive movie in Netflix history. You will see how the specialized press has been polarized with this film!
time out. “By far one of the most enjoyable movies of the year and easily the best Netflix movie to date.”
Variety. “There’s nothing terribly original about its story (…) What makes it exciting is that it’s the most thrilling Netflix original action movie since Bright.”
Chicago Sun-Times. “Agent Invisible is a depressingly hackneyed waste of the talents of the Russo brothers and their stellar cast…and a complete waste of 2 hours and 2 minutes of your time.”
A.V. Club. “For the most part, it’s a bloody delight (…) Often more entertaining and escapist than some of the latest James Bond movies.”
Guardian. “There’s a lot of drama, but no heart in this Netflix CIA assassin story, frantically jumping between exotic locations.”
Common Sense Media. “Gentry must use his old spy training to fight the group of international assassins working against him. What to expect from The Invisible Agent? Intense action sequences, strong language and violence.”
Empire Magazine. “Playing with the wheel of action espionage, rather than reinventing it, it’s a fast-paced and entertaining adventure, with a couple of twists from Gosling and Evans.”
Plaste Magazine. “Loosely inspired by the Mark Greaney novel, it proves that the Russo brothers don’t need superpowers to turn massive budgets into clods.”

slash-film. “A Netflix movie made to half watch while looking at your phone. His biggest disappointment is that he knows what he has – Gosling, a great cast, a lot of money – and yet it ends up being less than the sum of its parts.”
IGN. “Agent Invisible is a product with too many conflicting approaches and no unifying vision, resulting in a hodgepodge of spies that drags on too long to be enjoyable.”
Entertainment Weekly. “A maximalist action thriller that’s almost comically violent, unfailingly simplistic, and intermittently hilarious.”
Indie Wire. “The blandest movie of the summer…you can feel your Netflix subscription getting more expensive as you watch Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans fight it out in this boring Bourne rip-off.”
the play list. “While it has its moments, some good laughs, some impressive cliffhangers (…) it’s generally a lame attempt that wants the best of both worlds, but can’t really put that thread together.”
TheWrap. “The Russo Brothers alter the choreography of violence in the endless settings of The Invisible Agent, failing to make their characters interesting.”
