Spy Game (2001)

Synopsis: Tom Bishop, an American CIA agent, is captured by the Chinese while attempting to rescue someone from a Chinese prison. Nathan Muir, who was Bishop's mentor and is retiring on the following day, has to outwit his colleagues -- who wants to just let Bishop die -- in order to rescue his protégé.
Appraisal: Very unrealistic spy thriller. It follows the general conventions of the genre. The camerawork sometimes goes crazy, for instance in the rooftop sequence. Despite it all, it is still good entertainment.
Rating: 58
