Looks can be deceiving. At first inspection, "Humint" appears to be an exciting, action-packed spy thriller. Indeed, in the opening and closing scenes it is, but the lull between action and excitement takes up the majority of this film's length. In short, it's predominantly a rather depressing, uninteresting interpersonal tale that fails to engage with the viewer. In summary, a film that doesn't know whether it's an action flick or an interpersonal drama and ends up being neither. Not reccomended.recommended.
