In Moe Berg, Rudd helps director Ben Lewin (Paperback Writer, The Sessions) add another unforgettable passive hero to the his increasing menagerie.
It's an absorbing character study of a most intriguing man.
It's a less than passable espionage thriller watered down by a vague character study.
It's so safe, and it's so dry, and it's so understated to a fault.
The result is a juicy true story told blandly, but The Catcher Was a Spy is still a movie worth seeing.
I wish I liked it more.

"The Catcher Was a Spy" has a strong line-up, but there's no chemistry, making this one feel like a giant swing-and-miss.
The Catcher Was a Spy is a moderately anticlimactic but engaging character study about a secretive man who lived an unbelievable life.
