Premise
A story about the birth of the CIA.
Who should watch
History buffs.
Thoughts
It was too long with too many storylines. In other words, it lacked focus. There was probably a good story about a work-obsessed father and his ‘I need to prove to Dad’ son in there, but it got cluttered with characters and cameos.
What I would change
Cut the script in half. Make two films with lean, mean stories: one about the birth of the CIA, the other about the family dynamics.
