I also do not understand the poor comments I see here. I just watched "Provocateur" and I thoroughly enjoyed it.I'd have to go buy a film student's textbook to see if it is full of genre cliche's or not--if I care to.Even though the bonehead earlier gave away the ending, it was still filled with tension for me--because I cared about the characters.I think this is as good as "The Bourne Identity." Not as much action, it's got more drama, but I prefer that anyway.I must admit the front cover of the video looks extremely like "La Femme Nikita," though. They should put this on DVD.

I'm not sure why so many IMDb voters chose to give Provocateur a '1'. The film is well acted (especially by lead Jane March and Nick Mancuso as a justifiably paranoid CIA agent), takes itself seriously, engages in a minimum of silly action movie cliches, and has an incredibly downbeat ending that is almost believable. Sure there's some unnecessary softcore T & A, but even that is relatively tasteful. Worth a look if you like spy flicks.

I saw only two minutes of this crappy movie, in the two minutes i saw a toy gun, an Audi stripped of its labels because the company was too poor to pay for its rights and a two second explosion that started off in the day time at about high noon and somehow ended up finishing at about sunset. Hmmm you tell me was a lot of time spent on this movie, i dont think so.

Miya (Jane March) is a north korean spy who infiltrates an american family under the guise of a housekeeper. Of course she falls in love with the son of her new employer, forcing her to pick sides etc etc blah blah. Aside from Jane March, who is an excellent actress who is completely wasted in this film, the film is very generic and full of cliches. Cardboard characters, cut and paste melodrama, and feeble storytelling make this quite bad. If it wasn't for Jane March it would be completely forgettable.
