Review of The Assets

I love a good spy flick as much as the next person, so I looked forward to this series even though I already knew the historical facts. What bothers me most of all about this story is the implausible circumstances, could our CIA be that stupid? How many government employees had over $500,000 in cash to buy a home? And even after the CIA knew this, they still weren't sure he was the mole. The lead actors from the UK and supporting cast held this together. If our government was that stupid at that time maybe there's no way to make it look good no matter how much money you throw at a film. It's watchable and I learned a lot more about the lives lost on the other side. Bolshoi Cpaciba Ruskies
