Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This spy TV show was filmed 2014, but it seems like it was done in 1954. It so slow, melodramatic, over the top and old fashioned. Jodie Whittaker as Sandy Grimes is an outdated stereotype (and quite unlikable) character. The show just doesn't live up to its potential. As a concept, it should work quite well. In execution, it fails miserably. Extremely disappointing. 3/10

Although the first few episodes seemed slow-paced to my wife and me, overall, we really enjoyed this series. It gave us some real insight as to how the spy business operates. The brutality of the Russians was particularly memorable along with how bureaucratic the CIA is. The actress who played Sandy Grimes was excellent. She even looked a lot like the real Sandy Grimes. We both wanted to smash the Aldrich Ames character in the face. Highly recommended.

My husband and I found this incredible mini-series on Netflix last night and watched 7 of the nine episodes, saving the last two for "desert" today. I kept wondering why we had never heard of it until I looked it up and found it had been canceled after 2 episodes. Shame on ABC!! We knew the story but the suspense is just as intense as if we had never heard of Aldritch Ames. The acting is top-notch and Paul Rhys would have received a nomination at the very least if the show had been given a chance. I intend to tell everyone I know to check it out on Netflix, etc. I assure them they will not be disappointed. It's billed as "based on a true story" but when I researched Ames I was impressed that the series did indeed stick to the facts and didn't try to embellish history.

I am waiting for ABC to let the other 6 episodes be available for streaming. Many fictional mysteries start with the same premise of knowing who the culprit is. It can still be a great journey in solving the situation. My 16 year old was choosing to put down his electronic devices and and watch this with us. I also enjoy the non dramatic way that home life people with security clearance jobs are shown. My only confusion was why it was an almost all British cast for a very American show and topic. However they were doing the accents well. My husband and I were young enough when these real events happened that we really only read the headlines and it fascinating to get a more in depth look at the happenings.
