This movie is a far better attaempt at war darama than, say, Operation Finale of the same years. Here, we are treated to a pretty decent war spy drama about Mo Berg and his services to OSS during WWII. Paul Rudd did a good job, but sometimes he is a bit lame and thus does not convince wholly. Jeff Daniels is strong enough, but he also lacks his drama depth like one he showed in Gettysburg, Mark Strong may be the weakest link in this chain as he does not succeed to deliver a more persuasive character.
Critics were quite right - this is a promising affairm but it fals short off its potential and seems more like parts of its sum than a cohesive fluent fluid movie.
