ICE Agent (2013) Reviews

• Bad...so bad, it's nearly good

  mahrae2014-01-12

  Seriously, where does one start? Poor, stilted, acting. Laughable action and fighting sequences, firearms shooting that is beyond the unbelievable...weak to non-existent script...mixed up flow to storyline...disjointed editing...directing (was there even a director?). So why, watch it? Well, it's so bad you get transfixed and want to see more of how bad it will get. Unfortunately, it just keeps getting worse. The sad reality is that the subject of sex slavery is real and it deserves to be treated better than this. While I expect that the cast and crew felt they done their best, the reality is that this is a very disappointing use of film making practice.

• Bad very bad

  Seriously, why is this called a movie? Poor, bad acting. Laughable action and fighting scenes, gun shooting beyond the unbelievable...script with no consistency...mixed up storyline...disjointed editing...directing (was there even a director?). So why, did I watch it? Because of the rating 7.4 on IMDb but that is so wrong! The movie is so bad you get in a sort of trance and want to see if it's possible to get worse and yes it gets worser. But than you wake up and you can say wow I saw a bad movie. People do not look just if do not have nothing else to do. Such movies with a present problem may be interesting but this is not worth to produce.

• HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN CLEVELAND

  nogodnomasters2018-10-18

  This is a cheap indie about ICE stopping human slave trafficking in an unnamed US city that looks like Cleveland. Michael Madsen plays Carlos, a Venezuelan banker who can also handle himself. He acts as a double agent while being a good guy. Mike Johnson (Ray O'Neill) is an ICE agent wanting to infiltrate the "Syndicate" that is kidnapping young girls from Cleveland. Ray Keiffer (Ray Goodwin) is a city official who won't sign off on a building code variance, putting his daughter at risk. The sets were cheap looking. The actors were unconvincing. Even Madsen seemed out of it. Dialogue wasn't exciting. The film was mostly poorly written drama interrupted by lame action scenes, some reminding me more of "Police Squad" than a serious production. There are other bad low budget films available. Parental Guide: F-bombs. Nudity.

• Entertaining and Action Packed!

  This is an entertaining independent action-crime-drama about sexual slavery. Very solid production on a lower "indie budget", but filled with special effects, fight stunts, guns, and tough guys. Michael Madsen leads the pack in his trademark "bad ass" persona. Very good cinematography and well choreographed fights are part of every sequence in this motion picture. Acting is good, with so many new faces, mainly out of Ohio - since this film was almost entirely shot on locations in Cleveland. Overall, an indie film that showcases variety of possibilities when it comes to non-Hollywood productions and labor-of-love filmmaking.

• Raising Awareness

  For those of us who understand the business component of the industry, must acknowledge the perseverance required to complete a film with a lower budget, excellent writing as well as qualified actors is challenging. I felt the most valuable message portrayed in Ray Oneill's film Ice Agent was human trafficking is real! ICE AGENT has people talking about Human Trafficking and I think that is a huge step for society to open their eyes and ears to the reality of which we are living in today. As individuals we can find a million things wrong with all projects. From my perspective the positive far outweighs the negative. Bed of luck to the director and his team on future projects!
