The Secret Agent
2025-12-07
Toronto, ON

Sprawling political thriller that refuses to give you all the answers. Because sometimes there aren't any answers, and no one to pay for whatever has transpired. It's a cold truth, but certainly a story worth telling. The package we're getting here is a faithful homage to the '70s, a great era of political thrillers, so it's well worth your time if you're a fan of Alan J. Pakula's Paranoia trilogy, or Brian De Palma thrillers like Blow Out. And De Palma would be pleased with the split diopter and split screen usage here.
