Spy Game (2001): Retiring CIA agent Nathan Muir recalls his training of Tom Bishop while working against agency politics to free him from his Chinese captors. (6.9)
Director: Tony Scott
Stars: Robert Redford, Brad Pitt and Catherine McCormack
The movie showcases, at least, some of the CIA as good guys and a field agent as a super spy. The storyline is pretty good, albeit a bit on the far-fetched and simplistic side, what with one field agent working with one agent in the HQ. It is the same old story, the field agent goes with his heart, the older guy goes out of his way to help out his young field agent. I'd agree with the high rating for the originality in laying out of the story--not a linear timeline. My rating: 6.5
