In 2010, NTV hosted the premiere of the multi-part action movie "Special Purpose Agent", whose actors on the screen beat the life story of a certain Russian James Bond performed by Sergei Peregudov. What troubles does the main character get into, what difficulties does he face in his work?
Short storyline
The main character of the film is the national security agent Ignat Barabanov. He is entrusted with the most complex and dangerous cases.

In the second episode, Ignat has to chase a strange killer who informs about planned crimes in advance. In the third series, the Russian James Bond is instructed to bring the elite international swindler Sophie van Keller to fresh water.
In general, the audience liked the series, so it was decided to extend it for another three seasons. In total, by 2012 four parts of the detective film were shot.
Of course, many viewers compared the TV series “Special Purpose Agent” with its analogous predecessor: in the early 2000s, the “National Security Agent” was broadcast on the central Russian TV channels with Mikhail Porechenkov and Andrei Krasko in the lead roles. Then the mentioned film was popular. It was he who made Porechenkov a recognizable actor.
However, the new NTV channel film is also not without healthy humor, which captivated a small audience.
