I found Agent Vinod a good, skillful action movie but only in aspect of Bollywood. The entire story is about chases and action.
A RAW agent Vinod ( Saif Ali Khan) is on hunt to solve a mystery of a secret code that is related to some big planning of terrorists attack. The movie starts in dusty terrain as Vinod rescues himself and his RAW partner from Pakistani Army, which was very impressive start of the movie. And is the hunt of terrorist to solve the mystery he later goes to St.Petersburg, Morocco, Turkey and Pakistan. Among these ways he meets Dr. Iram Parveen Bilal (Kareena Kapur), whom Vinod supposes a ISI agent, through a different identity.
Yes, this movie looks similar to other spy/action movies like Bond Series and Bourne Series but it goes to nowhere close to them i think because of a little confusing plot and chemistry between Vinod and Dr. Bilal which was unnecessary for a spy movie.
Saif does his job very impressively, he looks real. Kareena is looking just opposite to Saif who is in full form in the movie. The action sequences turned out to be very good. Most important, the way movie shot it remind me last best spy movie that came to screen MI 4, cinematography is very greatly done.
It was a decent attempt which could be great from the director who gave us two very good movies Ek Haseena Thi and Johny Gaddar. I enjoyed and liked it may be because i can't recall any Bollywood spy/action movie that was even close to average.
My Rating - 6.5/10
