Farewell 2009

Farewell (2009)    Based on the true story of Vladimir Vetrov, a Soviet agent who gave classified documents to a French engineer who lived and worked in Moscow.  The information was passed on to the USA concerning what KGB agents had learned about us. 
    This is slow paced, very somber, you have to pay attention to the subtitles but it is dry information.  The biggest problem is that when governments are involved, a person can be sacrificed if it is for the greater good while another can just escape by being a minute ahead of a search.  3* (This movie is OK)
 
118 min, Drama directed by Christian Carion with Emir Kusturica, Guilaume Canet, Alexandra Maria Lara, Ingeborga Daplunalte, Dina Korzun.

Note.  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 7.0 out of 10, 85 % critic 75% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
