The Operative (2019)
8/10
a really good spy movie
23 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This movie shows us what it's like to be a spy, particularly one in which the spy is really hated by the country being infiltrated (a Mossad agent in Iran). It shows how very difficult it is, and how lonely. It also shows the dangers a spy faces because his or her controllers 'back home' don't always know what they're doing. It also shows the convoluted personal relationships, and how they get complicated and twisted up during a spy's career.

I do not understand the negative reviews on this site. Just watch this movie carefully, maybe watch it twice, and you will be very impressed.

As to the criticism of the ending, I will say this: the movie is over, and she's left going through the rest of her life looking over her shoulder, being hunted. That's it. She will never be safe again.
