Verdict on MR-9 Do or Die
Recap
The movie follows a Bangladeshi spy who teams up with the CIA to take down an international criminal. He travels to America to track the target who has managed to get his hands in a range of different criminal operations and must battle through them to take them down.
Best Parts
We get action stars from across the globe who can show off their skills. Abm Sumon takes the leading role and shines, but it is also great to see Michael Jai White do his thing too. The story plays into the James Bond concept of an international spy taking on a big threat and it works for the fun in the movie.
Worst Parts
While the movie is fun it doesn’t hit the slickness a Bond movie presents and could have done more to step out of the shadow of that concept.
Final Thoughts –MR-9 Do or Die is a fun spy movie with plenty of action.
