Review of Agent Vinod (2012) by Michael H — 31 Mar 2012

A fine, fun, but unexceptional action movie. The cinematography is excellent. Beautiful movie. The action is mostly the sort of rapid-fire cuts so you can't see what's happening sort of action editing Hollywood uses to hide the fact that the actors can't sustain credible action for more than a few seconds at a time.

There is one extended take that stands out as a well choreographed bit of action - not especially challenging action for the actors, but definitely gave the people behind the camera a chance to show their skills.

The soundtrack includes a number of brief references to Western film music and one song that reworks the melody of Boney M's "Rasputin" to good effect.
