Normally I love spy movies, I love espionage and the tension those kind of stories make. And I watched it when I was little, REALLY little, and I loved it then. But now, revisiting it as an adult, well, it has espionage, it has treason, it has cocaine, and it has Sean Penn, and it's boring. It's just really very dull from start to finish and never seems to build up the tension and suspense that make spy movies so fun to watch.
The true story of a disillusioned military contractor employee and his drug pusher childhood friend who became walk-in spies for the Soviet Union.
