Read More Yes, there are two discs (which Blockbuster.com doesn't seem to want to tell you)... and yes, it is about 5 hours long. With that out the way, I will say that I really did enjoy this movie. The acting wasn't spectacular, but I thought they got the job done. What really drew me to the movie was the way that they incorporated old time footage of the actual events to go along with some pretty visually stunning images (The Bay of Pigs incident was well filmed I thought). Yes,the dialog was a little overdone in parts, but all in all I thought it was a pretty gripping movie and did a great job of tying together about 40-50 years worth of history into 5 hours.

The cast and the story is excellent. Admittedly, the beginning of the first part on disc one starts out slow, but this is because they have to develop the characters. Just be patient, it gets better and better. This is really a smart story that will leave you wanting to learn more. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I was involved with some of the events shown in the movie. The movie is an accurate protrayal of the history of the "Company" during the Cold War. There are no James Bond's, no fancy card games in a Casino Royale, nor beautiful women shaking your martini, just plenty of long hours doing unpleasant work in unpleasant places. The Company is a great movie showing what is was like being there. Thank God we won the Cold War. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Chris O'Donnell was excellent and it was Alfred Molina's best part. It was good old-fashioned suspense and it made you want to keep watching. I couldn't wait for the next night to watch it and was very sad when it was over. Highly recommend it. I give it 5 stars. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The interaction of the characters at times didn't make much sense. I though the russian students emotion and character were excellent but not the best performances by the rest of the cast. I am going to watch the next disc and see if it gets any better but it really didn't hold my attention nor really challenge my thinking in anyway Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

Gives a great overview of the covert operations of the CIA. The movies does alot of detaining of CIA operations except in that of the JFK assassination. With the Bay of Pigs and Cuba and the mafia could there be the same connection to the JFK assassination? Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Disc one contains the 1st and second part of the movie. Disc 3 (the end of the movie is actually on another disk that you have to pay for total cost $10 to rent!!!!) I was very upset to find that you have to rent another disk to find out the ending!!!! Disk 1 is also very confusing that if you push play all you only watch part 1 and not part 2. So if you rent the 2nd disk you will be totally lost!!!
What a very low underhanded way to rent a good movie!!!! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
