This show’s tense action and suspense take viewers into the murky world of secret killers combating human trafficking. The story centers on a rookie who gets caught up in a risky assignment and it addresses ideas like morality, staying loyal and growing up. The process by which the young recruit begins as innocent and ends as tough and determined is both interesting and emotionally moving, highlighting the tough choices he has to make.
There is a good mix of fighting scenes and lighter, quieter parts. The gloomy look and toned-down atmosphere well suit the parts of the story about wrongdoing and being forgiven. All the acting is great, especially the one playing the young rookie, whose character development is both convincing and uplifting. Experienced members of the group display the ethical dilemmas experienced by those working behind the scenes.
The stylish camera work and quick editing in “The Collective” help make obvious the tension felt when agents are on secret missions or while fighting bad guys in action scenes. The way the action is choreographed flows nicely and exactly like real-life situations, but it stays exciting. The music makes the atmosphere more intense, so the audience can’t look away during the whole movie.
Most impactful for me was seeing the main character’s moral development, representing the widespread struggle for fairness against evil. The movie not only provides exciting action but also shows what individuals must deal with for their convictions. On a whole, “The Collective” is a smart movie that points out the importance of being brave and ethically right under pressure.
