Great movie - not an action-packed spy movie, but very good nonetheless. Lots of big stars playing low-key roles. Glad they kept the gay aspect low-key, it wasn't a major part of the movie and would have ruined it by going further down that road - the story was about his job.

First off, the movie is very well cast. It is slow with just a little bit of action in the middle and it is not very thrilling either. Which is OK it is not meant to be an action movie or thriller. It is a drama in the typical sense. Unfortunately it is not very deep on characters or story. A lot is hinted, nothing really shown. Maybe a bit more runtime to deepen the story could have helped. Not awful or a waste of time but nothing you'd watch repeatedly.

I wanted to like this film but it never once caught fire. The cast is great though many of them are miscast, and the story should have been a good one. Sadly, this retelling of Berg's time as a spy is old fashioned, dull, and too thinly drawn.

This should have been a better movie. There are complex characters, especially the titular spy that I am interested in learning more about, and an intriguing story set around World War 2. However, it fails to really deliver. The movie opens and closes with blocks of text giving an introduction and c More

Moe Berg was a professional baseball player who played for a number of teams as a backup catcher over his 16 year career. He also had a knack for languages and this led him to working for the Office of Strategic Services More
