Agent for H.A.R.M.

The film constructs its plot around a classic Cold War sci-fi premise, relying on the paranoia of biological espionage and a straightforward hero-vs-mad-scientist dynamic. It explores its concept with a brisk pace and practical, if dated, effects to sell the fungal threat.

Those who tire of overly complex narratives may find charm in this unpretentious blend of spy adventure and B-movie science fiction. What lingers after is the simple pleasure of a period piece that knows its modest goals. — MovieFinder Editorial
