cubenny Very well made, intense, but probably not for the average American stupid pang bang movie lover. I would love to see this movie again, and not just for Monica. The story is original, and portrays very well the real complicated side of doing illegal business, which again is not always James bond 007. All characters are in a state of depression, which thinking about it, appears quite natural. As so often with french movies you need to live yourself into the characters, and not just watch. Of course it has some minor defects, such as a car crash, which no human would ever survive, but these are only details. Probably this movie will have a later US remake.

cooperaitaliano I watched this film entirely in French without subtitles with some french speaking friends, as someone with reasonable French skills and still learning, i paid more attention to it than i would with an American film. I understood what was happening. From the start it had the potential to be a good film. Good locations, reasonable camera work, a good cast and some believable action sequences. A proportion of the film was located in Geneva, where i am staying at the moment, which i recognised, so effort was taken to be on location, unlike some films which are filmed in Prague and then set in Paris, Zurich or other European cities. I liked much of the story, the way that the characters interacted with each other and how the plot developed. Nevertheless, i found it disappointing and thought that more effort could have been made to develop the plot and perhaps develop the characters better. The actual action scenes were more brief than i had expected, which was another disappointment, but they were more believable that many in this specific genre. Having watched a number of French and other European films, i believe that they do have an edge over what Hollywood is producing. This film i think would not, i am sad to say. Not i think worth buying. If you rent it on DVD, then rent something else as well at the same time. That would be my advice.

joker2k4 One of the few movies that show real agents a little closer, and not James bond like agents...this movie had excellent FX and soundtrack, act was great , don't get why it got such low rating, the plot is understandable from start to finish. Didn't see the film in original lang. so maybe that's why i got another impression from the film(dubbed in Russian). give it 8/10 - one of the movies i will definitely have in my movie collection.

tomatoview Hi! First of all I have to say that I really enjoyed 'Agents secrets'. I wasn't disappointed as many seems to be because I knew what kind of film I was going to see... By this, I would mean that it is a 'Schoendoerffer movie' i.e. a movie that is not focusing on a special mission or on action but rather on people, what implies their job, on their daily life...even if they are spies. It was the same in one of his prior movies 'scenes de crimes'. So, don't expect to be staggered by special effects or by an unexpected end. You're not in 'M.I.1' or in 'The Usual suspects' - even if I also appreciated these movies- , what matters is people, their relations, their perception of their job... It was really a good moment and it does not really matter if at the end everything is not fully explained. It's not the the director's main purpose at all...
