Good movie, it’s worth to watch one time, but it could be better for this cast.
Shows the level of pedantic detail that employees of the CIA go to for getting results. Relentless analysis. Very interesting film.
Interesting though it might require a bit more focus for those not interested in the genre.
If a long, slow movie is not your thing, skip this. If it is you should absolutely check this one out.
Pretty boring. Thought it would be more interesting given the huge cast.
Genesis of the CIA, a little dark, but overall excellent. 2h 47m
Somewhat disjointed movie about the beginnings of the CIA. Some great acting and a good movie overall, just a bit hard to follow at times.
A convoluted plot and characters you couldn't care less about make this another boring post 9/11 political thriller
Slow, maybe tedious, and very complex. Doesn't try to be easy or exciting, so it really isn't. But slow spy thrillers deserve love too.
Kinda boring. You sorta need to have some knowledge of the CIAs history to appreciate it.
