This movie did pass both my entertainment and making me think tests, so I don't exactly have an adverse reaction. I just thought it fell short of it's potential. I was really expecting 45 more minutes at the end.
And I am now going to have to read the book. Hopefully to find out more about the Clooney character.

I agree with both of these thoughts. They should have just gone for broke and made a 3-hour epic. And I'm definitely interested in reading the book. I hear its not that well written but that it has a lot of interesting stuff about being a field operative in the Middle East and how the CIA [censored] up after the cold war by letting its numbers of field operatives dwindle.
