Trivia
"In the Company of Spies" is the first and so far only movie to be approved by the CIA. The CIA cooperated in the making of the film, allowing the filmmakers to shoot at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., and even providing 60 off-duty employees to serve as extras.

Goofs
In the scene when there is a close-up of the phone when the female Korean spy goes toward it the Korean writing is upside-down.

Fun, smart, well-acted spy movie that should become a series.

Made for cable movies keep getting better and better. In Spies, a deep cover CIA agent is grabbed in Korea before he can transmit the information he found back to the agency. Berenger is excellent as the operative who comes out of retirement to retrieve both the agent and the information. The mission is a real nail biter that deftly balances action, investigation and political intrigue. The entire cast (but particularly Berenger, Silver, Krige, Brown and Gross) have great chemistry together. The last scene begs for this to become a regular series and I hope Showtime gives them the go-head.
