Movies Watched -- The Catcher Was a Spy (2018)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

94 minute running time … the story of Morris Berg, who was a pro baseball player who became a WWII spy … Jewish (non-practicing), handsome, homosexual? (bisexual?), brilliant and not just at throwing a ball from home plate to second base … it wasn’t terrible but I guess in the end the story was sort of underwhelming though they did bring in fog machines and wet down all those city streets … lots of smoking and fedoras … Paul Rudd can learn long strings of foreign language dialogue apparently. This had a lot of A-list actors and must have had a pretty sizable budget… I bet they lost money on it. Rex called it “a juicy true story told blandly .... [with] Sluggish, follow-the-dots direction.”
