I was all ready to complain about American movies with American actors portraying other etc and why can't they blah blah blah...
Then I read TLAM's link and the story of the CIA and covert ops in the Cold War, and I have to agree - this looks pretty cool!
[edit] And I just read McBee's original link, and I'm back to saying why can't they use actors from the correct country? It worked in
The Longest Day and
Tora! Tora! Tora!, and it worked for
Eastwood in Letters From Iwo Jima. Well, we'll see.
[edit 2] I just watched the trailer, and it doesn't say "Based on true events", it says "Inspired by true events", which invariably makes me cringe. Now that I've seent the trailer I'm starting to look forward to avoiding this.
