A good film telling the story of the CIA taken from a couple of different angles. The first being Chris O'Donnell and his friend being recruited out of College to join the CIA in the late 40's/early 50's. We follow him through his career and the vaious theatres of operations he works in and how it affects his life and loves.
The second angle is the chasing of SASHA the Russian mole in the CIA. He is pursued by Keaton and you get the distinct impression through the film that Keaton himself may well be SASHA.
All in all a well made, well acted and well filmed show. Highly recommended if spy dramas are your thing.
One of the most intelligent and well acted spy dramas ever written.If you liked 'Tinker,Tailor Soldier Spy' from a quarter of a century ago you'll love this!.'The Company' starts with the formation of the CIA and follows the progress of Jack McCauliffe through the Cold War years up to the fall of the Berlin Wall.The acting is superb; in particular watch Michael Keaton as James Jesus Angleton, the father of American Counter-Espionage. If he does'nt win a shed-full of gongs for what has to be the performance of the decade then there is no justice!!!.all in all quite suberb a 'Must Rent'
