Regarding the movie

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2007)

While I agree on some of the points that were made regarding the movie, I find it interesting in the way these people handled things during that time. Many people that will go and see the movie did not grow up in the 50's and 60's thinking that at any moment that the USSR would and could attack at any moment with missiles across the Arctic circle much less Cuba. I was an Air Force brat and we had a foot locker for each family member stored in the borax mines in CA should the time come for us to leave the base. It was amazing as to the number of spies, sleeper spies, and wannabe spies that were running around in the states. If you read history books that would detail out the activity during this time. This film would fit right in. This film only focused on a couple of things in general, Duty, Honor, Country. You have to ask yourself the question, would you do the same thing? A possible answer today would be "How much are you going to pay me?". Interesting how our values have changed in over the years.
I liked the film for the period in which is focused on. Realistic - maybe too realistic for people to comprehend.
thanks
