Very interesting (and excellent) cast. Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti, Jeff Daniels, and Guy Pierce all step outside their general wheel houses and bring together a wonderful performance about a true chain of events that unfolded during World War II.

As a Red Sox fan I had a general idea of the story surrounding Moe Berg, but I was enlightened about several different elements of the story by the movie and even more so I was driven to do additional research and found out even more information about this unheralded American Hero.

If you're looking for an action romp this isn't where you'll find it. This is a movie that will capture your imagination and you will almost forget that this is all based on a true story.

I don't know what happened... I mean, I do, but it's a weak excuse, especially when you look at True Blood.

True Blood stopped following the books at the end of the first season and still managed to maintain enough of the story to give a half-decent ending.

GoT stopped having books to follow after the 6th season, but the show was already going downhill.

Wow. What a beautiful documentary! This was an incredible look at a true treasure. So well shot, so well directed. It was a great look and a great opportunity to see the story of a man who helped so many children everywhere.

OK cast (0 more)
Very short run time (0 more)
A thriller based on the true story of the Manson family's murders in the summer of '69. It feels like a cliche home invasion film. With a run time of 73 minutes it feels like half a film.

I always liked science based things and read this purely due to the Ebola theme. The science bits were well explained and the fact that this is a true story, yet reads as fiction, and could even happen again makes it a scarily good read.

Compelling but dull
Based on the true story of rodeo riders, they took non actors and created a compelling movie which does have a lit of good traits but is just a little dull.
