Agent Recon (2024)

In the promotional material and the trailer of a film such as Agent Recon, which seems to have been directed and acted big by Derek Ting, I feel it is fair to say that we should state the obvious. It is a precise kind of promotional material I would tend to assume is useful. If bad, amateur-grade B-level dreadful indie action is not your cup of tea then it isn’t for you either. Not at all. But those who for one reason or the other ‘reconcile themselves’ to watching such films would, to their relief, have some fun with this film as well. And it is nice that for the third part of his thicker, more complex story about alien invasion, science fiction saga, the director Derek Ting has got two real action stars for his project – Marc Singer and again Chuck Norris.

Most importantly, he allows every action icon to present me with something from the golden age of action films from the 80s and 90s that made me happy especially when in the film’s closing Norris at the age of 84 is shown slicing through waves of enemies ‘with guns and fists’ as he used to in his prime. A small scene in the movie made me who an action movie buff the minute the first time I watched Lone Wolf McQuade.

It is necessary to emphasize in this way once again, let me recall that this conversation began with Agent Intelligence, where Ting was in the lead role. The first one was rather short, with a runtime of approximately 70 minutes, and while it is in rough shape for the most part, it has the real spirit of a student film in that it is fun to watch, especially during the last twenty minutes or so of the film. Most definitely, eye-catching action and extraordinary stunts are at the top of the list. It is a well-known fact that the second installment developed with a greater budget, this time around focusing more on tactics , with Ling characterizing a US soldier standing alone battling against aliens intending to invade earth. In terms of scale, this is also low-budget and more targeted, but later on, investors efficiently farmed the materials and developed good, better than most indie movies of this genre.

Michael Dorn, a well-known Star Trek actor, was also enlisted by Ting. With Michael Dorn, Ting has raised the bar even higher as this is far more refined than the first.

Ting is back behind the camera for the third and final time, this time as Jim Yung. He is an ordinary guy who thanks to some pollen transforms into a bloodthirsty killer. If you haven’t seen the first two movies, this is still a perfect stand-alone film since Ting intended it as the first of many parts that he will make to explain the movie’s background. During the movie’s promotions, there was a rumor floating around that its aliens were mundane in appearance, so the creators had to modify their design. If you want to maintain the movie’s shock value, it is best to omit any videos of V’s commands. The remarks have been well received, and after watching the film many asked. Yes, there are aliens. As they take the form of converting people, they resemble the author’s penciled-in vision of aliens in the V series. The red powder used is so powerful that it can transform even the most stoic person with the slightest touch into a screaming demon.

The only problem the aliens will have is if the dust does not turn Jim into a controlling tweeter. Instead, it turns the great average Joe into a superhuman beast, an absolute demolition man who will morph into Bruce Lee with sheer brute skills. Now this is who I wish to be, sadly however I would be another mindless machine there like all others. Anyway, moving on.

Now fast forward to the present day and Agent Recon and now we have Colonel Green (Singer) who is literally looking like a skull after getting through an alien cockroach infestation and he and his elite squad of special forces have been called upon to find soldiers that have gone missing at some remote base. To make it more interesting SPOILER ALERT we get to know later that one of the soldiers is none other than his daughter, Captain Lila Rupert (Nikki Leigh). Green wants to apprehend Yung, but then again, without looking, he has no plans to take Yoshida with him because he does not trust Yung with aliens inside him.

Alastair, Green’s master, is an AI superhero in this film and a human some 20 years back. You will be surprised to know that, in the last century, he died. So when I search for Alastair in Green, I guess he stays in Alastair, in that robotic figure, between them fits Norris, and so optimistically throughout the film they are assisting the team. For me, such diversity is new because I have never seen Norris to play such role, so it was now pleasant to watch him again.

When Green, Yung, and the men rest reach the outpost they are outnumbered by aliens, among them ET being the most powerful. Remember that when caught in such overwhelming scenarios they seek to use every ability and every weapon at their disposal so the world does not fall apart so easily. Imagine how an action film from the 1980s carries the lines that have been the voiceover and the aftermath will be so much fun.

The Nice Thing’s Agent, as I mentioned, belongs to indie action and sci-fi genres. If you’re expecting a massive production akin to MCU movies, then you will be disappointed in that respect. However, the resources at his disposal do not stop Ting from turning copper into gold. He ends up firing some CQB hand-to-hand action sequences with their martial artist portraying a new-age estrogen-soaked action hero. He brutally shoves aside all forms of diplomacy, hindrance or balance and uses whatever it takes to eliminate his opponents – be it a bladed knife fight or an unrelenting bare-knuckle MMA fight.

There is no reason for any of us to entertain this Singer and Norris rhetoric as presented by Ting. Certainly, Ting do work with both stars, but he also is rough on Chuck giving him only the exciting finale while for the first two or thirds of the movie Singers takes most of the action doing what he does. Don’t be surprised that Yung is rather passive in the themes of the movie while it is Singer’s Green that becomes the real star of the film. The advancement and release of Agent Recon through the relatively minute slower sections towards the end is sustained by Green’s character progression. This is easily Singer at his gravitas best and I was eagerly waiting for him to incorporate just a touch of his iconic V character Mike Donovan since it was so easy for this one to be Donovan later in life. And there is a great throwdown and easter egg to one of the lines from the classic sci-fi mini-series, which made me laugh when Singers used his line.

To begin with Chuck Norris is the main sell here considering that with the exception of his role in Expendables 2 and his part in Hawaii 5-O, he has all but hung up his acting career since The Cutter in 2005. There was great excitement around Norris’s role in the Stallone project Expendables 2, however it was Ting who refrained from doing so and the man literally hands over the baton to Norris for the climax where the action star kills hordes of alien soldiers with Ade Anderson m4s and many others. In the first place Norris is there, the one the fans are expecting, how is he used previously I watched parts of The Expendables and he barely spoke no more than 5 lines. As so you have all the presidential sense to say, you were given a minigun just like Jesse Ventura.

In the past 20 minutes, I am happy to report, yes. Norris participates in what appears to be the best thing for him while he fights in the alien gauntlet along with Ting. It’s safe to say that no one ought to expect Forced Vengeance Chuck Norris because he’s now 84 not in the worst physical shape. Dakota Norris, his son, staged the unarmed battle in which he had permission to participate. In addition, I had a wonderful time while watching Norris once again doing what he is best at, and the one thing I will criticize is that I wanted more. But, what I can still obtain will make the fans celebrate the outcome because, at least one more time, our director god is now a one-man army of entertaining DTV action. Admittedly, I may be a little partial but then again, I don’t find this of concern as usual. My opinion is the only one that matters.

Nathan People , who is a friend of Us elite alien alpha, designed all the other combat action elements as well. Here, People does know , to some extent, grapple action designs imbued with military as well as natural elements. The pace at which the action unfolds, and the shot that is both involved and blended with detail, allows for rapid hand movement, and joint movements and so on. Memes demonstrate exactly why these types of films are much better suited for Tings and Singer, even though Tings’s action is largely limited to bang-bang, there is enough room for Tings to remind the younger audience why he was adored in the 80s.

In conclusion, despite being lower budgeted, Ting has the chance to fully expand and strengthen this franchise since there aren’t many films in this genre. The fight scenes and choreography were absolutely incredible and completely action packed, and I got to see my favorite actors reprise their roles. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. There will be naysayers who will condemn it for their own instead, foolishness, sadly.Would people with a taste for this genre have something to look forward to? Without a doubt. I am anticipating what Ting intends to do in terms of the next installment. I assure you that this area may be improved upon, as well as having several action stars added to it. To put it mildly, Ting is a brilliant director who is passionate about filmmaking of this genre and makes a point to demonstrate this off from the film’s opening scene until its conclusion. In addition, he certainly possesses the appropriate skills for martial arts characters in action and science fiction films.

Mitchel Wolverin is the ruthless antagonist in the movie who meets his end at the trigger of Marc Singer’s gun. Both Marc Singer and Chuck Norris met my expectations. Norris’s role in the movie is small but he made an appearance and the conclusion was spectacular as was over 25 years ago. He will do his Chuck Norris falling head over heels you never like him doing it, so why not provide them a little more before retirement. For DTV action where most of these titles are forgotten and gathered dust Agent Recon takes its place and breaks the stereotype. Then what were the expected alternatives to what was offered? In the end, all that is left is what I was after and all that is left is what I received.
