i saw it back when it was in theaters (or am i thinking of another movie?) it was good, not great.

I'll save you all the time and reveal this was a disappointingly boring movie whose great reviews I'll never understand but to praise the work of Chris Cooper, who has officially become one of those guys they just have to praise.

They wanted us to give a rat's ass about the young agent wannabe they planted to spy on the spy: But I don't think Phillippe was up to playing a guy with something to hide. Like, I didn't care. And they set up all these little mini tense scenes, when we knew how it would end anyway!

More interesting movie might be about how/why the double-agent became a double-agent not how he got caught.

I'm watching it right now and am bored to death, should have listened to Bucket.
