“This a very long movie. Itu0026#39;s a bit confusing unless you intend to rewatch the beginning after watching the end. Then … you can understand the beginning better. Sound confusing? It shouldnu0026#39;t be this hard to watch a movie. Plus, the first 2 1/4 hours of this nearly 3 hour movie is kind of boring.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is basically about the life of a man during the start of the CIA. We follow him from his induction into an elite fraternity (or order) into his career with the formation of the CIA.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf it doesnu0026#39;t sound interesting, thatu0026#39;s because thatu0026#39;s all there really is. Unless youu0026#39;re a CIA history buff and are interested in this stuff, itu0026#39;s a bit boring for the average viewer. There is only one place where there is a real plot – and thatu0026#39;s right at the end for about 15 minutes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFurthermore, the way the movie is chopped up and given how long it is, itu0026#39;s likely youu0026#39;ll forget the what happened at the beginning by the time you get to the end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor the average viewer, this movie isnu0026#39;t really worth the time. For the CIA history aficionado – knock yourself out.”
