The plot for this movie is actually quite good, a microbiochemical weapon accidently created and released on the world is captured and is being brought back from Russia, but the Russians are trying to recapture it and release it on the major cities of the world and it is up to our "hero" to stop them before it happens. What ruins this great movie is the very bad acting. When asked if he knew about Agent Red, Dolph's character said it best, "Sounds like a bad action movie," and it is. From LT. Christian being seriously out of uniform to the underlying "love story", this movie just reeks. The only good thing I saw in this movie was Randolph Mantooth. His small part made up for the movie in my opinion. So unless you're a big Mantooth fan, this movie is a waste of money.

This movie is so bad, it barely deserves mention. However, I am a big DL fan, and I am writing this in the hope that Dolph will not abandon his fans---he may be making movies like this just for the $$, but, I believe, he is also doing irreparable damage to his career.

I will be honest I like Dolph Lundgren.........a look at his filmography you see B.movie classics such as "The Punisher",Universal Soldier" and "Blackjack" Dolph has been going trough a slump.........Storm Catcher and the startlingly routine Jill The Ripper and the awful Minion(AKA Fallen Knight) but with Agent Red Dolph Lundgren hits rock bottom. Agent Red first of all steals it's music from Predator 2......and it's plot from Counter Measures,Oh I'm not finished yet. It steals footage from Storm Catcher!!!!!!!!! The scene where Jon Penner steals the air craft while posing as Dolph Lundgren..........Now Penner is 5'11 Dolph Lundgren is 6'5 for goodness sake! yet they try to pass it off as Dolph Lundgren as the soldier stealing the aircraft for part of a mission.....This scene made me wanna throw up but I hung in there.....It turns out more footage is stolen.......I swear I saw footage from Iron Eagle and Iron Eagle II.......I saw footage from Crimson Tide and I saw footage from Counter Measures........What the heck was Dolph thinking when he signed for this junk? I have no idea. When I was a teen (When Showdown In Little Tokyo came out) I thought Dolph Lundgren couldn't sink lower then Showdown In Little Tokyo,Then when I saw The Minion I was almost sure Dolph couldn't do worse........Well I pray he can't do any worse because Agent Red is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life..........This is coming from a guy who likes Don The Dragon Wilson. Bottomline:On Agent Red's cover it says "Once exposed you cannot survive" Take this as a warning.

Ok,a new Dolph film.Lets all forget what hideous memories that line produces in our minds!No,don't think about the minion,or about the last patrol,this is an entirely different kind of Dolph film...a good one!For Dolph gone are the days of Universal soldier,Masters of the Universe and the Punisher,he has been reduced to B movie hell,until now that is.
This film isn't too bad!The effects are extremely good,the plot is passable and Dolphs acting isnt too bad either.What really lets this film down are the other cast members!All too often Dolph s let down by lousy no name actors chewing the scenery.This film could have been far better,it could also have been far worse!If you're a Dolph fan,buy this film now!If you're not,get an early night!

AGENT RED is yet another in a long line of killer virus movies. For a low budget thriller, this isn't too bad, though. Dolph Lundgren, never one accused of acting, is even stiffer than usual, but in all actuality, he's not in the movie as much as one would think. Hiding in cameo roles are Stephen Macht and Steve Franken; Meilani Paul and Natalie Radford are the femme fatales, and a nasty Russian villain played by Alexander something or other does a fairly decent job.
There are some tense moments and Agent Red is a real nasty virus. Don't miss former EMERGENCY star Randolph Mantooth in a role as the admiral of a naval carrier.

Well first off I would like to say that I enjoyed the movie very well and reading some other reviews, I have come to a conclusion that maybe I like bad action movies. Another thing I have noticed is that people are saying that there is other footage taken from other movies, I'm really not sure about that. One other thing that I had is that the marines uniform and the navy uniforms are not correct! Now I'm in the marine corps and it sort of makes me mad that they can't even make correct uniforms! Here is just one of the examples is one female is wearing Private first class Cheverons and then has officer rank on her coller! What is that! Anyway I just thought that I would share that with you. But over all I would say it was a good movie.

I just loved the movie and bought it because it had Randolph Mantooth in it.He is a good actor.Thank You

Agent is red is basically about a deady virus that is being shipped from Russia to the US for safe keeping. However, some Rusian terrorists have a more sinister plan in mind. There are male and female fight scenes! Lungren shines in his action scenes. Don't miss Agent Red. I rate this movie 5 with 5 stars.

The Agent Red movie is a submarine film, & it's a likable flik. Mostly, it's the American couple, Dolph & his Dr. Linda babe, pitted against the terrorist Soviet couple, him a Dr. and his Nadia. The russian terrorists hold up good in the film, and are battled more-or-less equally by the American couple. The Russian doctor Kretz proves to be a tough opponent, right to the end. But, you know, he is up against Dolph Lundgren, who is cool-as-a-cucumber on his every move. It's really an ok mfilm, just don't expect a Hollywood blockbuster when u approach it to see. It has an American war movie ending, and leaves u feeling ok as it finishes (I wouldn't mind being in Dolph's shoes at the end of this movie, w/ his nice Linda girl.) Break out the popcorn & soda, and watch the film unravel, as the planet earth almost eats 'Agent Red.' Recommended.

...The dialogue was so artificial and the acting was so poor. It seems that some one tried to mix "Executive Decision", that the bit when Dolph tapped the submarine steel hull to send morse codes, Steven Seagal "Under Siege" martial arts display and special ops background + calling off the attack of fighter jets shooting air to air missiles which miraculously changed into anti-submarine torpedoes but keep on missing the target. I never thought a Harpoon anti-ship missile could be used to shoot down a Mach-1 or more fighter jet. As for "Agent Red", well better spend you money on books on genetic engineering or microbiology. As for the containment room, a high school positive pressure cabinet has more chance of containing the virus, which were kept in glass vials so thin that they broke so easily.
