First review from Flickering Myth:
https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2022/04/ ... game-2022/
2 stars, so not the best.
it’s mostly a shoulder-shrug of forgettable chaos
Ouch...
But:
coasting off decent work from Dermot Mulroney and Jason Isaacs

The oft heard “movie was shite but Jason Isaacs was brilliant.”

Yes, it was familiar.
This review from The Epoch Times is a bit more positive, but hardly mentions Jason at all. And you have to register to read it:

...and we’ll be left with the memory of a pretty good movie which failed to deliver on its promising build up and left us hanging.
2.5 stars.
I will move this forum up the list a bit since it's released this Friday.

cbr.com didn't like it much.
https://www.cbr.com/agent-game-movie-review/
feels like a childish attempt at a spy thriller.
About the actors:
Agent Game features several notable actors, who are all trying their best with the material they are given, but schlocky dialogue and characters with nonexistent personalities make it nearly impossible.

Moviewb review, not too bad.
https://movieweb.com/agent-game-review/
Agent Game has a brisk pace and intense character interactions. I also got a kick out of the cliffhanger ending. Action fans will not be disappointed.
...and about Jason:
Jason Isaacs lifts the entire storyline in a brief supporting role.
I wonder how
brief it is.

Oh damn - another brief supporting role.
