646f9e108c A devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City on Black Friday, and one by one, basic services fail. Within weeks, society collapses into chaos, and the government activates The Division, a classified unit of self-supporting agents. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, Division agents are trained to operate independently of command when all else fails. In Tom Clancy&#39;s The DivisionTM: Agent Origins, four newly activated agents must servecivilization&#39;s last line of defense after a man-made virus devastates New York City. Based on the video game by Ubisoft®, this action-packed film introduces the world of The Division to fans of Tom Clancy movies. There only few quirks in the movie that seem unrealistic. However with such minimal budget, this is very well made. I know you have seen movies when a man standing in the middle of the gun fight and he wins, killed all 300 bad guys. This is not so in the movie. The fight seen, especially the last one is very precise. They always take cover, which you do in a real tactical gun fight. Movies always forget to do this just because they wanted a better camera angle.<br/><br/>There are some quirks in the movie that I didn&#39;t like. When the Mia the girl was trying to take the gun from the guy, she was having a hard time. She already have a grip of the gun but couldn&#39;t take it. If she is very trained(which they portrayed), she would know how to easily flip the wrist and take the gun in a matter of seconds. I Also do not know where and why a shooter just busting up a door and start attacking, just because of Pizza? <br/><br/>It also needed more story on how the prisoners got out? and How the smallpox cause them to be able to escape. Why is it that they didn&#39;t get affected by the virus?<br/><br/>Anyway, still a great to watch, and I&#39;m forgiving it since the budget is little. It did keep me interested the whole time which is the most important thing and reason why I am giving it an 8. TOM CLANCY&#39;S THE DIVISION: AGENT ORIGINS - now there&#39;s a title to contend with! - is a short, 31 minute action film that seems to have been made purely to sell a video game series made by Ubisoft. I&#39;m no gamer, so I don&#39;t know anything about that, but what I can confirm is that this short film is very well made and much better than a lot of full-length action thrillers.<br/><br/>First, the bad stuff: there&#39;s no real story here, just a collection of action sequences. The setting is an anarchic New York, where a viral pandemic has laid most of the population low and the streets are filled with murderers and looters. The heroes are a group of &#39;sleeper&#39; agents who must come together to combat lawlessness.<br/><br/>I have to say that the action sequences in this film are very well achieved. There are hand to hand fight scenes here alongside free running and some violent shoot-outs. The camera-work is very nicely achieved and although the characterisation is nil you still end up admiring the athleticism of the participants. Although in essence this film is little more than a lengthy advert, it&#39;s a really entertaining one!
