A solidly crafted if forgettable espionage thriller.

Spy movies often revolve around the question of where loyalties lie, and this one puts an intriguing spin on that prospect.

The Operative fails to present either interesting intrigue or emotion, leaving only bland formalities and one or two solid set pieces.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 12, 2019

There is bafflingly little that's exciting or even all that interesting in the story being told, and the performances themselves are opaque and disengaged.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 11, 2019

A proficient but unsurprising espionage thriller from Israeli writer-director Yuval Adler that offers another well-fitted showcase for Diane Kruger's stern resolve as a performer.

Writer-director Yuval Adler connects the dots of the convoluted plot with reasonable clarity, but The Operative only intermittently builds suspense.

Kruger is compelling in the central role in this pacy procedural thriller which is persuasive in its depiction of contemporary spycraft but less convincing in mounting a case for why she would work for Mossad in the first place.
