Even the fact that it was based on a true story couldn't help this movie to make it decent.

A film that is interesting due to the fact that it is historically accurate enough, although it is fairly easy to notice when it is not accurate and that it is a recent event. The film is an effective and interesting thriller. With a original and very real character. This is one where they show you exactly who he was but it is impossible to figure him out because no ever figured the person out in real life.

I like the fact this is based on a true, and recent story. It does make it compelling, but, for me, it was also completely boring. I never identified with any of the characters and found myself drifting.

With all the glamourized CIA films, people tend to have this idea that working for the CIA is action-packed. Working for the CIA is a job. And like most jobs, it can get pretty tiresome. I like how this film is true to that. I think this is a smart and expertly written thriller. This is a sleeper hit; though many people may not recognize its brilliance and not a lot of people will get to see this, it is an undeniably enjoyable peek at how someone's career is made and broken.

I'm not a Phillipe fan but I thought he was good in this. He actually looks older than 13 now adays too. This movie had great suspense and did a good job of portraying the relationship between the two main characters. I think this is probably the most underated movie of 2007. The fact that its based on a true story (though I don't know how closely based, the main facts are accurate) adds to the intrigue.
