the resulting film is an unexciting mess; at all times extremely boring; At the end of this long, long story you feel like you have boarded a roller-coaster ride at a funfair that only chugs along at ground-level: very slowly
neither terrible nor terribly gripping; director Yuval Adler connects the dots of the convoluted plot with reasonable clarity, but "The Operative" only intermittently builds suspense; the characters just never exert much fascination
