As soon as the film begins, we are immediately dropped in a world marked by intense pacing, coupled with a swiftness that comes to mark the progression of events.
The story brings in a protagonist and an antagonist. It establishes a world order and the opposing forces that are constantly at play in bringing it down. Further, loyalty and betrayal become the two strongest emotions within the narrative, constantly tugging at each other. Amidst all this chaos, the characters are placed and presented to the viewer to engage with.
The final result is also marked by a zealous attempt to rope in the stylistic approach and treatment that often define an action-drama narrative. Though it displays effort and dedication, the film could have perhaps gained from a little more control on the stability of its visuals. Having said that, Agent Smith remains a story that exhibits potential and a desire to share its intentions with the viewer, leaving an unobstructed path for more similar endeavors by the team.
