I've a mixed feeling about this. They had good actors/actresses with years of experience, new faces, good storyline (from the book), a decent budget and this is what they come up with?

Unnecessarily loud background music, out of context transitions, forced backstories of protagonists that failed to touch the audience, lame comedy attempts, too much location transitions (At some point it felt like a geographical documentary), lazy character introductions, John Wick'ed dialogue deliveries, everyone in the movie felt like video game NPCs.

I feel bad for ABM Sumon. This guy clearly has the talent but his potential was reduced to ashes.

Watched the US-Bangladesh joint venture spy action thriller movie MR 9 today .. MR 9 is our very own desi James Bond "Masud Rana" .. The movie is based on the first book of the Rana series, "Dhongsho Pahar" (1966), by Qazi Anwar Hussain!

ABM Sumon as Masud Rana looks the part, but except action scenes he did not get to show his acting prowess .. Some of the action sequences was good, the cinematography was top notch, background score was excellent but the movie was too much slow-paced .. At some point it became boring .. It really needed to be fast-paced .. The acting was just about ok .. The makers clearly lost the vision of Qazi Anwar Hussain somewhere down the line!!

The movie was not upto the mark .. But atleast now a Bangladeshi movie has joined the Spyverse!!!

I grew up reading the spy-thriller books, written by Qazi Anwar Hussain, about the legendary international espionage agent Masud Rana (MR 9) of the Bangladesh Counter Intelligence .. From school life till now I just love reading the Masud Rana books!!!!

A very poor work. I don't know who appointed the director to direct a film of this legendary character. Masud Rana never looked like a secret agent in the film. His movement, expression, dialogue delivery everything looked like nothing more than a Bodyguard. Story was also very weak. Acting was immature by most of the actors. Very poorly executed film as per the production house claims the budget. There was no climax in the whole movie. A secret agent's film should have been more intense. No way the film met the standard of the original character of the book. If same director directs the second part, then that will be a disaster like this one.

Disappointed!!!
