Reviews

The Operative has received mixed reviews from critics. While some praise Diane Kruger's performance and the film's tense atmosphere, others criticize the pacing and lack of character development. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a rating of 41%, with an audience score of 32%. IMDb rates it at 5.8/10. Metacritic scores The Operative at 47/100. Variety describes it as 'a slow-burn spy thriller that lacks the necessary spark to truly captivate', while The Guardian commends Kruger's 'convincing portrayal of a woman torn between duty and conscience.' Overall, The Operative offers a compelling glimpse into the shadowy world of espionage, but falls short of being a standout in the genre.
