The specialists of the “smooth plan”
Released in theaters in 2010, the ultra-entertaining The All Risks Agency tells the story of four men, highly skilled and once respected members of an elite army unit, who are tasked with a top-secret mission designed to trap them.
Taken to prison for a crime they did not commit, they escape without a hitch. Having become rebels, they decide to clear their names and find the real culprits.
Director Joe Carnahan wanted to make his All risks agency much darker than the series, while retaining the dynamic aspect specific to the program which was all the rage on the small screen.
“The project was highly coveted, and adapting a series that I loved as a child was difficult to refuse”he declares. “We stayed very loyal to the series out of respect for the generations of fans who grew up with it, but we also wanted to bring it into the 21st century.”
“Four men like brothers”
“What I always liked best about the show was the friendship and affection these guys had for each other.”complete Carnahan. “It wasn’t the stories or the action scenes that made the show successful, it was the fact that these four men were like brothers and looked out for each other.”
