I have a strong interest (nearly 20 years) in military and Intelligence!.

From evertything i know about the CIA and its workings, this is the most accurate movie i have ever seen!.

For years we have seen James Bond, a free lancer for the most part, british spy who romances the women, fights all the bad guys, goes everywhere, and never stays in a office for more then 2 min at any given time!.

also Jack Ryan!. Now Sum of all Fears had more truth to it then any other movie i had seen at that time!. It showed something that most people never think about!.

The average CIA employee sits in a cubicle watching foreign news (in that case they were watching a Russian news report on the president), reading foreig newspapers, and things like that!.

Only a small handfull, maybe 1-20 at most, becomes field operatives!. And most of these, 99% give or take, operate out of the US embassy in whatever nation they are sent to!.


In that case, usualy they are connected to the ambassador and spend a lot of time doing nothing more then what those in the cubicles do, or sometimes appear at social gatherings and try to make contact!.

There is however a very small number and these are the elite CIA operatives, that do not always work IN the embassy!.
However chances are they spend a lot of time there!.

I am worried about the fact that Leo's charector seemed to have his own life outside of the embassy including a house-apartment!.
I doubt very seriously that would be done based on what i know!.

They did a lot of things with this movie that do follow CIA ways:

message passing is something very few movies have ever covered the way this one did!.

In the movie one of the contacts picks up a innocent looking cup from a trash bin and retrieves a message then puts it back in the bin!.

Chances are (all though we did not see it) he would have left a mark of some sort) around the bin so that his contact knew that the message had been retrieved and to check it!.

The Contacts and side agents was interesting!.

Im not so sure that someone like Leo's char though would be authorized without a lot more help at least, to bring about the set up, attack on the US base!.


They did do well though with the aerial shots from the Predator UAV!. I was watching a show looking into the movie and this was really done with one!.





Funny side note:

Remember when you see Ed (the CIA handler (as their known)) arrive in Jordan or whever it was, and you see the airport tower and some buildings in the back ground!?

i'll bet a 1000 dollars that was Dulles International Airport in Washington Dc instead!.

I have seen that airport terminal and tower many times!.

And you see a building in the back ground behind some trees!.

Thats been in several shots of the outskirts of Dc!.


over all it was a great movie!.

very very well done!.
