Rating: C -- Though a true story that had everything you could possibly want for a thriller, the film lacked drama, lacked action and lacked credibility. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- Paul Rudd iss fantastic as the enigmatic Moe Berg, a real life footnote from history in the serviceable thriller THE CATCHER WAS A SPY.
