Agent of Deceit (2019) Reviews

• Really Dumb

  Jenna19922019-02-24

  I am one who can suspend reality on many of these Lifetime movies. But witin the first 10 minutes, I just couldn't. The female detective tells Amanda she needs to go buy a gun. It's the only way she can protect herself!! Then Amanda goes to a shooting range and with a two minute lesson is a crack shot - she hit the "head", a hard shot, five times in a row. In the next scene, the female detective's garage door won't open, so she gets in her car and turns it on to try and open it. Ummm, there is a way to manually open a garage door. Of course, she dies. I've probably let more slide with other Lifetime movies, but, maybe it's because of my training, I just can't. The dumb just continues with the movie.

  I actually am watching this as we speak. Almost turned the station from the beginning. I wonder, do you people who produce it, ever watch it on television when it comes on? I won't watch it again. It has been so annoying to try and hear what is being said. The background noise is too much. There shouldn't be any background noise when people are talking. Ever. I have extremely good hearing. Do you think we can just put the caption on, which is just as annoying. If you had watched this, you would have thought the same thing I did.

  Amanda (Chelsea Ricketts) gets attacked in her own home by a masked man. She manages to escape into the bathroom and the cops arrive after her friend calls 911. James Dawson is the overly helpful police detective. Detective Valencia tells Amanda about the rash of break-ins and suggests getting a gun. Valencia suspects Dawson of wrong doing and is killed by a masked man setting it up as a suicide. Dawson insinuates himself into her life as her 24 hour guardian. Liam is her ex who wants to be more than her business partner. This is not a mystery since so much of it is revealed from the start. All the tension is drained. There is no drama in the drama. The only surprise is that every male role is a murdering scumbag. Even the one big surprise is revealed way before it's revealed. There is no thought to the script. The first dumb scene is Valencia's murder. It's a series of conveniently orchestrated events. She can't be carrying one of those window glass punch. She has to usually leave her gun in her car which cops should never do. Cops are supposed to lock it up at home. It's definitely not supposed to be left in their cars. It's really bad when one has to do a lot of logic gymnastics even if it is a Lifetime movie. It is downright infuriating. It becomes a wait-a-thon until a specific murder when another obvious suspect is illuminated. Honestly, I would have been more impress if the Captain turns out to be the other killer.

• Kept me entertained

  Usually when I watch TV I am on the computer the entire time, but today I watched this movie and actually paid attention to it. I thought it was thrilling and the acting was pretty good. It isn't that hard to guess the baddie, but this time I didn't mind because I wanted to see what all the person would do. In order for that to happen on screen, it needed to be revealed up front who it was. I liked the "twist" at the end. I had no trouble hearing a single word due to background noise. What background noise? I'm confused.

  This movie is incredibly stupid!! The acting is horrible! There are so many spots where people's reactions/actions don't make sense and made me roll my eyeballs and yell at the TV - lol! I laughed out loud many times where the scene was supposed to be dramatic! The twist at the end was so stupid considering how evil the cop was! What are the chances that an evil cop would be put on the case!? How stupid could the cop's boss or other cops be not to see that he was a criminal himself? Amanda says at the beginning of the movie that if her attacker had been the size of Liam then she wouldn't have had a chance, meanwhile it WAS him!! He was quite a bit bigger than the cop yet she believes that the cop was her attacker? STUPID!! The writing for this movie is pathetic!! What a waste of 2 hours of our lives!!
