Fresh and Exciting
Don't listen to the negative reviews
I also do not understand the poor comments I see here. I just watched "Provocateur" and I thoroughly enjoyed it.I'd have to go buy a film student's textbook to see if it is full of genre cliche's or not--if I care to.Even though the bonehead earlier gave away the ending, it was still filled with tension for me--because I cared about the characters.I think this is as good as "The Bourne Identity." Not as much action, it's got more drama, but I prefer that anyway.I must admit the front cover of the video looks extremely like "La Femme Nikita," though. They should put this on DVD.
I saw this movie a long time ago, but I remember that this movie was kind of stupid. What really turned me off about it, was that the lead actress was not Korean, nor resembled any Asian race. I think in the movie, she had a Russian mother/father (I don't quite remember)and I think the producers thought that she could pass off as a Euroasian woman.As an Asian, myself, I don't think it would be really hard to find an Asian actress of the same caliber of March (which is not quite high). She looked plain white next to the other Asian actors.
I'm not sure why so many IMDb voters chose to give Provocateur a '1'. The film is well acted (especially by lead Jane March and Nick Mancuso as a justifiably paranoid CIA agent), takes itself seriously, engages in a minimum of silly action movie cliches, and has an incredibly downbeat ending that is almost believable. Sure there's some unnecessary softcore T & A, but even that is relatively tasteful. Worth a look if you like spy flicks.
I saw only two minutes of this crappy movie, in the two minutes i saw a toy gun, an Audi stripped of its labels because the company was too poor to pay for its rights and a two second explosion that started off in the day time at about high noon and somehow ended up finishing at about sunset. Hmmm you tell me was a lot of time spent on this movie, i dont think so.
