DVD Reviews of Yuri Nosenko: Double Agent
DVD Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
This wasn't what I was expecting. It was interesting, but slow. I was thinking it was going to be a thriller, but it was nothing more than a historical account of Yuri Nosenko's connection or non-connection with the JFK assassination. DVD Review: Chilling account
Summary: 5 Stars
Largely reflecting the pro-Angelton view of Edward Jay Epstein ("Legend"), who was a consultant on the film, it is as accurate as one can hope to get on the Nosenko mystery. The recent film Good Shepard, which includes some of the same characters in composite, is laughable by comparison as history.DVD Review: Excellent Companion Piece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent companion piece for the movie The Good Sheperd and also for The Company with Alfred Molina and Michael Keaton. It it dead on about the Angleton mole hunt and the CIA and how it crippled this countries intelligence agencies.
Great stuff!
DVD Review: Interesting, accurate look at a real world spy case
Summary: 4 Stars
Tommy Lee Jones plays Steve Daley, a CIA officer tasked in the early 1960s with handling Yuri Nosenko, a supposed KGB defector with important information on Lee Harvey Oswald. "Steve Daley" is a pseudonym for "Pete" Bagley who recently wrote the book "Spy Wars" about the controversial Nosenko case. The movie gives an accurate picture of a very complex affair that was never completely resolved to everyone's satisfaction. This movie is the antithesis of a James Bond film of gun battles and car chases; instead, the battles are those of brains and will. The movie seems to largely reflect the opinions of Bagley/Daley, who ultimately concluded that Nosenko was a false defector intended to mislead the CIA about possible Soviet penetration.DVD Review: Docudrama based on real events in the CIA/KGB war
Summary: 5 Stars
Based largely on declassified transcripts, this is a very well-done reconstruction of the events surrounding a major scandal that ripped apart the CIA in the 1960s and 1970s. James Angleton was then chief of counter-intelligence, and after his close friend Kim Philby defected to the Soviet Union, Angleton grew increasingly obsessed with finding other Soviet moles in the highest ranks of U.S. intelligence. One defector (Golitsyn) played into the fears of the hawks by emphasizing the seriousness of the Soviet threat; another defector (Nosenko) insisted there was no serious threat. Following closely on the heals of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Kennedy assassination, the choice on whom to believe carried serious implications for U.S. security. In an unsuccessful effort to break Nosenko, Angleton and his staff put Nosenko into solitary confinement for almost three years--and though major inconsistencies were uncovered in Nosenko's story, he was never broken. In the course of the investigation, Angleton's drive to uncover the Soviet mole(s) in the CIA ruined the careers of more than forty people; the scandal that followed led to Angleton's dismissal, and the CIA's inclination to wash its hands of HUMINT (human intelligence sources) in favor of SIGINT (technology-driven intelligence). This opened the way for later Soviet infiltrations (Walker, Ames, Hansen), but also set an unfortunate precedent--the CIA's distrust of HUMINT--that seriously undermined U.S. security in the post-Cold War era.
