A concert pianist (Hemmings) witnesses a murder of a psychic and takes it upon himself to investigate with the help of a feisty reporter (Nicolodi). Along the way, Argento throws us several curve-balls, some shocking murders, well-timed humor and some of the most striking visuals even put on film.

True to life film
Reviewed by Mukrak for Spy Game at 2010-03-19 07:15:53
Spy Game is a true to life composite of many real operations. Spy Game is more real than fiction and is based loosely on the character of intelligence operative Tom Golden, the son of an Arkansas dirt farmer. Golden was assigned to the CIA's Phoenix program during the Vietnam War. Nathan Thomas Muir was Golden?s CIA code name in Southeast Asia, and during his CIA operations in Indochina. Golden served a distinguished career in the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the CIA. He served in Southeast Asia, Eastern and Western Europe, and Central and South America. Tony Scott does a great job of presenting the true to life dangers faced by Intelligence Agents in the field and the bureaucratic decisions sometimes made in Washington that are driven by politics. Set in 1991, the film depicts the U.S. and Chinese Governments on the verge of a major trade agreement with the American President due to pay a visit to China to seal the deal. The Central Intelligence Agency gets word that their Special Activities Division operative Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt) has been captured trying to free an Englishwoman, Elizabeth Hadley (Catherine McCormack), from a Chinese prison near Su Chou (Suzhou). Bishop is being questioned under torture and will be executed within twenty-four hours unless he is claimed by the U.S.

The movie had so much potential...
Reviewed by NWRdr4 for Gangs of New York at 2010-01-03 00:52:02
... and yet, all of its merits are shadowed by its uneven pacing and seemingly-sloppy editing. That being said, Scorsese knows how to tell a good story, and Daniel Day-Lewis proves (once again) to be an amazing actor.

Gangs of New York
Reviewed by Joe for Gangs of New York at 2008-08-05 02:45:51
Hard to believe this film did not win any of its 10 Academy Award Nominations. Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio deliver with outstanding performances. Great acting from supporting cast as well. Slow at times and a bit long, but great movie overall.

Great action movie
Reviewed by mfaerber for Gladiator at 2008-03-10 12:43:03
Terrific action movie that entertains without trying to be historical (some of the characters are historical of course, although the movie does not attempt to make them realistic to their historical selves). A very engaging movie and worth watching!

Too rambling
Reviewed by mfaerber for Gangs of New York at 2008-03-10 12:01:13
Not a bad film, but entirely too long and tries to weave too much into one story. Good acting by Day-Lewis and others.
