Well-made spy thriller has some war violence, language.
June 22, 2018
Handsome cinematography fails to disguise the low production value, and constant cross-cutting between strategy meetings and the mission itself make both parts of the sandwich feel moldy.
June 22, 2018
This moderately intriguing thriller tends to further trivialize the remarkable story of its enigmatic subject.
June 22, 2018
If it wasn't a true story, it would be ridiculous. But the problem with Ben Lewin's film isn't the plausibility of the storyline, it's the execution of the plot, which comes off like a stiff noir rather than a crackling thriller.
June 22, 2018
Like deserting the movie somewhere between subversive and derivative, the filmmakers struggle to show Berg both as an average bum and as a brainy badass.
June 24, 2018
The Catcher Was a Spy is an imperfect examination of a curiously complicated figure in American history.

I wish I liked it more.
June 22, 2018
The movie is well-crafted, but it doesn't have the fullness you'd expect in a movie with so much believe-it-or-not weirdness. It feels more like a nifty anecdote.
June 22, 2018
If you like this kind of standard wartime folktale, The Catcher Was a Spy is at the very least an acceptable watch.
June 22, 2018
A much more pallid experience than this eminently juicy subject deserves.
June 24, 2018
The Catcher Was a Spy has every element needed for a gripping espionage thriller, but sadly falls flat with its placid direction.
June 22, 2018
Boring is the last word you should use for a sports-hero-turned-spy story like this; it's the only one that comes to mind after you've seen the film.
