discostu-5 Review of Aldrich Ames: Traitor Within

Aldrich Ames: Traitor Within (1998 TV Movie)

The most dangerous spy story of deceit starring Timothy Hutton.

[1 December 1998]

This movie follows the story of Aldrich Ames, the most dangerous spy in the history of the CIA. It stars Timothy Hutton, who also played a spy in The Falcon and the Snowman. It was very interesting to see how he fell into the life of a spy and how he was able to avoid detection for some 8 years. It was also interesting to see how the CIA works from the inside, assuming that this movie is somewhat accurate in its depection. Overall, I would recommend this movie especially if you are someone who likes spy movies or movies about government ineptitude.
