SOMEONE TOLD ME MARK STRONG AND PAUL RUDD FUCK IN THIS AND IM SO PISSED OFF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN I WAS WAITING THE WHOLE MOVIE

I WATCHED THIS WHOLE MOVIE BECAUSE I WAS INFORMED (ON FALSE PRETENSES) THAT MARK STRONG & PAUL RUDD’S CHARACTERS FUCK. THEY DO NOT. I WATCHED THIS ENTIRE MOVIE. IT DIDN’T HAPPEN! THEY JUST PLAY CHESS!

i was promised a mark strong/paul rudd sex scene and got NOTHING. this is truly the most homophobic film of the past decade.

The supporting cast is actually quite impressive. Paul Rudd is okay. I found the story/writing to be the most compelling aspect. The directing was okay.

There was a pretty decent turnout for our screening and a Q&A with the director, Ben Lewin, followed.

it really is paul rudd's world and we're all just living in it

spent like two hours waiting for mark strong and paul rudd to fuck only to realize that they were not going to fuck once the epilogue began playing. very upset.

Despite solid dramatic work from Paul Rudd and a strong cast, this was somehow equal parts interesting and frustratingly boring. For a 90 minute film it was paced very slowly and there's not much momentum guiding it from scene to scene. The portrayal of Moe Berg, who I've never heard of before, was certainly the film's strongest suit and where all my interest lay.

Aggressively mediocre. "The Catcher Was a Spy" has such an interesting story at its core and is never boring surprisingly but this movie is just told in such a jumbled and messy fashion with a poor script and a waste of a supporting cast. Paul Rudd is okay definitely not as bad as I'd heard but a more experienced dramatic actor definitely would've been better suited. Probably gonna forget I ever watched this in about a day.

The rare film that has Oscar aspirations but also might be an Eastern European tax dodge.

Paul Rudd delivers an incredibly impressive performance that proves he's just as good at drama as he is at comedy, but The Catcher Was a Spy unfortunately lets down a great cast and an interesting story with lackluster direction and a dull, jumbled script.

listless, too concerned with the main character's many talents to mount a cohesive narrative, and the assassination that should supply all the suspense and the film's centerpiece ends up an afterthought

I still don't understand why here they were all convinced to find a sex scene between the two characters of Paul Rudd and Mark Strong
And this really make me laugh

A little slow paced to be recommended, but not a waste of time.

give us more gay paul rudd

Well this was as much of a waste of time as I thought it was going to be. Basically it's fine, but it had so much potential and it really deserved a way better director and writer.

Nicely shot but the tone is inconsistent and the writing way too literal. Rudd seems lightweight compared to the terrific supporting cast, which includes Mark Strong wearing a wig.

this sounds like a fake movie

he was catcher. and a spy.

What a great movie. You gotta check it out. Paul Rudd is a Jewish baseball catcher for the Bosox during the 1930s. When war breaks out he joins the spy service. He's tasked with trying to get as close as he can to Werner Heisenberg the great German Physicist who might be working on Hitlers atom bomb project but then again maybe he's not. That's all I'll say.

An interesting look at what is a pivotal turning point in WW2, atleast that’s what it could have been. Honestly I’m still confused, why does EVERYONE look like a spy? Surely they don’t all shop at the same trench coat shop?

Entertaining none the less
