Saturday Special: Agent Jade Black [Film]

“Rescued from the international sex trade as a young girl and trained as a secret government assassin, Jade Black must go after a rouge former agent with the same background who has developed a biological weapon and plans to unleash it on the world, starting with the wealthy and powerful men behind the very same human trafficking operation they were both rescued from years earlier.” – October Coast PR

There seems to be a resurgence of sorts from the world of high powered action films in 2020, and I will definitely say I am not mad at it. And it seems to be leaking into the world of independent cinema, as Agent Jade Black is not the only film of its caliber that I have checked out in the sort time this year has been going. But, it was certainly the first, and I truly cannot say a bad word about it. The film is actually brought to the world from some of the creators of a 2018 film that was WAY better than it even should have been called The Jurassic Game, which landed in our Top 20 Films of 2018. And Agent Jade Black takes that same level of intensity and moves it into the world of secret agents and unlikely heroes that you would have to be without a pulse to not enjoy. It’s a fun piece of cinema.  Plain and simple, and I recommend it to all!

Now, I’m going to stop beating around the proverbial bush and get to why I really loved Agent Jade Black…..

KATIE BURGESS IS BACK!!! Folks, I have had no qualms or concerns about telling you all that I see this incredible actress as the future of cinema. And the fact that Agent Jade Black is a full blown vehicle to showcase Katie’s incredible talent is alone a reason why I would watch this film repeatedly. Burgess is young and full of life and has the potential to be one of the biggest stars in the world has known. I first noticed her in a film where she stood out amongst her acting peers, and simply crushed it, even if I didn’t entirely care for the film itself. And then Burgess lured me in to the aforementioned The Jurassic Games, and here we are again! And it’s safe to say we are seeing Katie absolutely light up the screen once again in this action drama that is not to be missed. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again so it is on record: Katie Burgess could be the future of Hollywood. Her potential seems limitless, and I am so excited to see her move into the mainstream world, and possibly pick up some roles that showcase just how talented she truly is. The first time I saw the trailer for Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, one of my first thoughts was, “This film needs Burgess.” Imagine the incredible combination of Katie Burgess in a Gerwig modern classic? Here’s to the hope that this, or something similar, will one day rear it’s beautiful head.

Alight, I guess I can stop sucking up to Hollywood’s next biggest star to again let you all know that Agent Jade Black is a fantastic film, and you should all check it out as soon as possible. Terry Spears directs an absolutely wonderful collective of performers and stunt workers. And while we have known Katie to be able to shine in a film even if it’s not the best written piece of material, I dare say that this time around her talent is guided by a wonderful and entertaining story that is well produced, clean, and just so damn much fun. Check it out!

Agent Jade Black is available on VOD and DVD wherever you buy or stream great films.
