5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, February 16, 2002

This review is from: In the Company of Spies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Tom Berenger (Kevin Jefferson) plays a retired CIA agent (and current owner of a fine Asian restaurant) who reluctantly returns to the job when Jack Marco, a former colleague (while posing as an engineer in North Korea), is kidnapped by a North Korean government in a blackmail scheme.

Kevin offers to tell Jack's wife about his kidnapping... then with her desperate urging, he agrees to stay involved in the case. In the meantime, Jack is being tortured by the North Korean kidnappers for information.

While Kevin gets the team together of former and new colleagues, to save Jack... we are introduced to some fascinating characters and events along the way. The tiny details that provide the CIA agents' with clues are fascinating; it's amazing someone could even think these up! The steps that are taken to pull the team together, and detailed intelligence and techniques that you watch occur to save Jack Marco, and discover what the North Korean government is actually working to do, makes this movie a must see!

Suspenseful, full of hard decisions, intense action... greed, political indifference, and deceit - along with friendship, loyalty and romance. You'll be proud to be an American!

Romance blossoms throughout the chaos, proving this movie will be enjoyable for men and women!

5.0 out of 5 stars Made with CIA cooperation, November 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Company of Spies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Saw this on Showtime (it's a Showtime Original movie). Very well made. Exciting, and apparently fairly accurate, as far as they'll let us know, anyway. This was the first (only?) movie CIA ever cooperated with. (...)Maybe SHO will play it again sometime...
