a5c7b9f00b Frustrated at being marginalized at work, Peggy Carter goes on an unauthorized solo field mission. A year after Captain America was lost in action, the war is over. However, Agent Peggy Carter is relegated to a desk job and frustrated at her male boss and comrades&#39; sexist dismissal of her place in the SSR. Ordered to work late one night, Carter gets an alert that the villain, Zodiac, has been spotted. Deciding to take care of it herself, Carter is ready to show the enemies of peace why meeting this Agent 13 is bad luck for them. This is another Marvel One-Shot, actually a pretty long one at 15 minutes, starring Hayley AtwellAgent Carter. When she is sick of the work at her desk and wants some field action, this is exactly what she gets. Apparently, she gets convincing enough to be employed in Washington to run S.H.I.E.L.D. shortly afterward, very much to the dismay of her boss played by Bradley Whitford. Apart from Atwell, the most prominent cast member is probably Dominic Cooper, who appears, just like her in theatrical releases from the Marvel universe in recent years. Atwell also got her own show this year where she starsthe character she portrays here. The director of these 15 minutes is the executive producer of &quot;The Avengers&quot; and this is not the only Marvel One-Shot he worked on. Same goes for the writer, who came up with scripts for four of these. I personally wasn&#39;t too impressed here with this short movie. I enjoy these additions to the big cinema releases at half the running time of this one here. 8 Minutes really should be enough and this one goes considerably longer and thus also lacks in terms of script quality in my opinion. It&#39;s all pointless action really and the short scene about bikinis during the ending credits was probably better and more entertaining than everything before. The Captain America references weren&#39;t too bad either, but in terms of Cartera hero on her own, it&#39;s a definite nay for me. Not recommended. I watched all of the Marvel One-Shot short films in one go (it only took about 25-30 minutes for all of them). They are all enjoyable in their own way but this one about Agent Carter is definitely my favourite one.<br/><br/>I really liked the plot of this short movie and Hayley Atwell delivered a very strong performance. It was only about 10 minutes long but it had everything. The action was very fast paced with some really cool fighting scenes.<br/><br/>When I was watching it it seemed like I was watching a proper movie, it was that well made. I definitely think the potential is there to make a full feature length movie about Agent Carter. Would highly recommend this (as wellthe other short Marvel films).<br/><br/>8/10.
