The Company
Friend. Ememy. Hero. Traitor.
The Company tells the story of Jack McCauliffe (O’Donnell), an idealistic Yale graduate recruited into the CIA by his coach. He’s sent to the legendary Berlin Base in Germany to work with a man who becomes his mentor: the eccentric and colorful Harvey Torriti (Molina), codename "The Sorcerer". Jack and The Sorcerer are imprisoned in double lives, fighting an elusive but formidable enemy in an unrelenting and deadly battle within the CIA itself. Together with the counterintelligence chief, James Angleton (Keaton), the three men are hell-bent on finding the moles within their own ranks before every operation they undertake is completely undermined. However, Jack is forever changed as he must witness the cost in human lives.

What a fascinating, engrossing series. A look at the CIA and how it has manipulated so many political events. Great actors, especially Alfred Molina, who does a very creditable American accent. This film does a good job of showing the agony of Russian/East Germany, Hungarian uprising, Cuba and the Bay of Pigs. It may seem slow at first, but persevere, and the characters will become very real.PERFECT FOR AN INSOMNIA ATTACK... - Ricardo
is the only way I can describe this two-part movie. I could barely get through the first part without falling asleep, despite having some great actors in it. The movie seems to move at the speed of a snail and although the subject is quite interesting, there is that spark lacking from it to make it an enjoyable movie.
I do not recommend this one unless you really cannot sleep
