Watched it last night. I thought it was a decent movie. Intriguing.

It's not for everyone. Long and slow, especially the first two hours. And ya gotta pay attention or you'll be lost.

    I watched it last night; did not like it. You need to be way too alert to keep up, and IMO not worth the effort. The most boring movie I've seen in a looooong time.

    I thought this movie was terrible...I saw it a while back and could barely sit through the whole thing. Very slow...very boring...very uninteresting. Nothing much in this movie held my attention or left me wondering what was going to happen next.

    Just my $.02

    Just got done watching this movie for a third time. I have no idea how you guys can say it's boring. It's one of my favorites. You definitely have to pay attention, the story is complex but it's a good one! Worth watching, worth owning.

    Acting is top notch. The jumping around between time frames is a little confusing at times. But the twist at the end is mind-blowing. You can see it coming but it's not apparent. I know I didn't figure it out until the story started unfolding in that direction.

    Overall though, very worth sticking with it. The history behind the CIA and OSS, WW2, English intelligence and The Bay of Pigs is fairly accurate. Getting to see it through the eyes of a single agent is quite interesting. Especially the impacts that such work has on his personal life.

    There are so many aspects to the story, I found it immensely intriguing and engaging. I can watch it over and over again!
