too long, not too interesting

Rating: 1/10 (30 December 2006)

The movie was under-researched, the political point was clear  CIA is not black and white, it's gray. But there were so many points that did not add up, and from the historical not correct. In the 60's no one finds a problem with the son of the main character marrying an African girl. The biggest concern is that she is a Russian spy just sounds hard to believe. CIA believes a man who failed the polygraph test without doing a background check The gay theme that is persistent in the movie  men in female outfits (onstage), men being too close to each other, the professor, men fighting in the mud naked (not sure if that is a historical fact or imagination of the director). There are only hints of homosexuality, nothing in the mainstream of the movie, was it an attempt to grab attention? Just saw no point in it besides the popularity reasons. Overall, the movie was lacking coherence, excitement and was off on historical facts. Although, it's always a pleasure to look at Matt Damon :)
