Agent movie review highlights: This Akhil Akkineni starrer is plain okay so far

Surender Reddy's Akhil Akkineni, Sakshi Vaidya, Mammootty and Dino Morea starrer Agent finally hit screens this Friday after numerous production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Wild One aka Rikki aka Ramakrishna (Akhil Akkineni) is accused of killing RAW chief, The Devil aka Mahadev (Mammootty) who's looking to hunt down syndicate head The God (Dino Morea). We're shown how a not-so-normal boy-next-door dreams of being a RAW agent, so much so he doesn't know how to take no for an answer. Unhinged is an understatement when it comes to describing him. He falls for NASA-aspirant Vaidya (Sakshi Vaidya) who moves in and out of the story for the duets.

The story by Vakkantham Vamsi seems interesting on paper but the execution is lacking. You can see the conflicts coming from a mile away. Hiphop Tamizha's music is subpar and doesn't really add to anything. Despite it all, Akhil seems to have the time of his life playing the character and it shows on screen. He's a delight to watch when he's letting loose. There are exactly two scenes in the first half that let him do that completely and it shows how mindless fun this film could've been.

With a first half that leaves you wanting more, it remains to be seen if the second half will fare well.
