The movie has excellent background music (especially during Brad Pitt's training) and state-of-the-art cinematography (a staple of Tony Scott's films). Unlike a typical spy movie, the movie is very cerebral and has almost no action sequences. For example, there are no high speed car chases, no high tech spy gadgets, no sexual jokes and no glamorous settings. The movie actually tries to depict somewhat more realistically than an average spy genre movie, what a real spy's life must be like and how unpleasant, unglamorous and diffcult and frustrating it really can be at times. In most spy movies, the spy is shown as someone who is always in control of the situation and comes out shooting with guns in both hands, in any situation. However, this movie shows how far that may be from the truth in real life spying situations.
