Synopsis:
For the past year, Matt Weston has been frustrated by his inactive, backwater post in Cape Town. A “housekeeper” who aspires to be a full-fledged agent, the loyal company man has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself. When the first and only occupant he’s had proves to be the most dangerous man he’s ever met, Weston readies for duty.
Tobin Frost has eluded capture for almost a decade. One of the best ops men that the CIA’s known, the ex-intelligence officer has given up assets and sold military intel to anyone with cash since he turned. From trading secrets to North Korea to aiding splinter cells, the damage he’s done to the U.S. is immeasurable. And he’s now back on the reservation with a secret.
As soon as Frost is brought in for debriefing, mercenaries come and tear apart Weston’s safe house. Barely escaping, the unlikely partners must discover if their attackers have been sent by terrorists or someone on the inside who will kill anyone standing in the way. Now it’s up to Weston to figure out who he can trust before they’re both eliminated from the game.
SAFE HOUSE will be in theaters

SAFE HOUSE is Rated R for strong violence throughout and some language.
I loved Breach! this is the frighteningly true story of how they caught one of the worst and most damaging spies in U.S. history. Ryan Phillippe plays a young agent who wants nothing more than operational experience. Though, he is paired with a paranoid agent, played by the amazing Chris Cooper, who the agency suspects of spying. They both know he’s guilty. Phillippe’s character just has to get the goods to prove it. A great, real crime-spy thriller.
I really like Spy Game in it Robert Redford plays a seasoned, genius CIA operative forced to play a tense game on his last day in order to save the life of his longtime friend and field operative, played by Brad Pitt. Told in flashback and within the walls of CIA Headquarters at Langley, this is a unique spy thriller
It’s not necessarily my favorite, but I have always been a bigger fan of SPY GAME with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt than most people. I just like the way the film looks and feels. It has an engrossing storyline and a satisfying climax at the end. Plus, Redford is hilarious as the old dog CIA guy.
My favorite spy/CIA movie is “The Bourne Identity”
The Bourne Trilogy – engrossing, fast-paced. Matt Damon is terrific as Jason Bourne;extremely smart,superior fighting skills and is a very determined individual.
The Hunt For Red October
The Bourne Trilogy
“Burn After Reading” A wonderful black comedy with John Malkovich, who quits his job as a CIA analyst and resolves to write a memoir about his life and career. But when his wife (Tilda Swinton) finds out, she sees it as a justifiable opportunity to file for divorce and continue her extramarital affair unimpeded.
Brad Pitt joins the cast too as a personal trainer.
Too much sarcastic fun.
I think All the Queen’s Men is my favorite spy movie of all time, closely followed by The Debt and Patriot Games. To be honest I’ll always enjoy every “Jack Ryan” movie, and most spy movies in general.
As an avid movie-goer, I have a lot of favorite spy films, but one of them is “The Debt.” It has an excellent cast, a tremendous story plot, and I felt the same magic “Inglorious Basterds” gave me.
The Bourne Identity because Matt Damon (Jason Bourne) could always get out of a bad situation with GREAT gut instinct.
La Femme Nikita – Peta Wilson was a smooth covert operator who never failed at her mission.
Mission Impossible – action packed and has you hanging on the edge of your seat.
Swordfish – it had twist and turns and full of suspense…it was great
MI – great action packed flock
Bourne – keeps you guessing and full of action
My favorite spy movies would be between all of the Bond movies and all of the Mission Impossible movie, i just love all the gadgets.
of course, when it comes to spy comedies it has to be Austin Powers.
Salt is the best Angelina is so hot I just love watching her in everything she does Salt is my favorite
my favorite spy movie is “Enemy of the State”. partly because i love Will Smith and mostly because it makes you think, can the government really do this to a citizen? to what length will they go, to railroad someone and what length the victim will go to to save themselves and their family.
Salt was an awesome movie that both my husband and I loved. Tons of action and surprises.
Love all the Mission Impossible movies and the original series. Amazed at what technology can accomplish, then and now!
I enjoy all of the James Bond 007 movies because his character is the ultimate spy
Mr and Mrs Smith is my favorite spy movie because it reminds me of me and my husband we love we fight we love we fight and we still take care of bussiness
Salt, Swordfish and Burn After Reading wer all great..but I have to go with The Debt for the historical element.
The Good Shepherd, mesmerizing must see movie
All fairy tales people………….Tinker , Tailor , Soldier , Spy.
If you’ve got the brainpower to handle it.
I like the Bourne trilogy. I think that the action is done very well. Plus the story keeps guessing. On a side note, this movies looks very good. I can’t think of Denzel Washington making a bad movie.
I really liked Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Great acting, suspense and surprises.
Live and LEt DIE and You ONly LIve Twice!
The Bourne Trilogy because you didn’t know who he was and why they were trying to kill him
Swordfish! Amazing movie.
Going back a ways, The Manchurian Candidate (original & remake)
Hopscotch with Walter Matthau. It reminds me it’s time to watch that again.
The Bourne Trilogy. Ludlum’s books come alive in the movies.
The Recruit. Both actors played it well, and who doesn’t love a good double crossing?
The Hunt For Red October. The first reason is the cast that included Sean Connery, Alex Baldwin, James Eral Jone ,Fred Thompson and others.Then the movie has nucelar submarines with stealh propulsion systems,defection,deception and a soviet agent working as a senior aid to a U S Senator. WOW
Any of the MI movies except the second one. Great action, fast paced story, and awesome stunts.
I like Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Sure it’s unbelievable, but the action and scenery are breath taking.
Point of No Return
I loved how they transformed “Maggie” (Bridget Fonda)from a drug addit into a professional killer, and especially how “Bob” helps her escape the job she ends up hating.
Well Im a Die hard Bond fan, but he is not CIA. I also love the Bourne Trilogy and can’t wait to see what Jeremy Renner brings to the role. And, I was very impressed with the reboot of Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol. . .
Definitely the Mission Impossible movies. They are action packed, cool story lines, love Tom Cruise in them, and they do the impossible!
I like Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Fast paced action and suspense. Great story line.
Mr and ms smith because it was a moden CIA film. It had comedy and romance which helped it with all types of movie goers.
The original “Manchurian Candidate” (haven’t seen the remake). Eerily possible.
Love SALT! To do anything to accomplish your mission up to the extent of sacrificing your own family and whatever it takes to protect one’s identity is a true agent. The ending was great.
Bourne identity. Matt Damon kicking butt an taking names, nuff said.
I like sneakers. Robert Redford, Dan aykroyd, Sidney Poitier what a great eclectic group of actors.
Missiin impossible ghost protocol was great, incredible action and Tom cruise has found the fountain of youth.
Mr and mrs smith, great action and great romance, in real life too.
The Bourne identity was awesome especially the first time I saw it seeing Matt Damon kick butt.
