Here is My Movie Review of The Catcher Was A Spy

So basically what happens is that it tells the real life story of the The Major League Baseball player Moe Berg and how he lived a double life as a spy of the office of Strategic services and how he became a soldier to fight for the Nazis in World War II and that is basically what the story is for this movie. 

    The acting in this movie is amazing. I still think everyone gives it their all and their characters. I can tell that everyone was having fun in this movie.

However the absolute standout of the entire film is Paul Rudd as Moe Berg. What makes Moe Berg such a interesting character is that he is tasked to kill a physicist named Walter Heisenberg who is trying to get the German Nazis to build the atomic bomb so they can kill millions of people And when the war. Probably the best moment with Moberg is where he is waiting his trips into the war to fight the Nazis and not only is it really intense but it may sense because in real life he was tasked to do that he was forced to retire from baseball so he can go into the war and fight against Germany. It is probably the most powerful moment of the entire film. This is probably Paul Rudd's most underrated performance He has ever done. The chemistry between him and Guy Pearce, Paul Giamatti, Sienna Miller, and Jeff Daniels is still really excellent. 

Guy Pearce plays the character of Robert Furman. I have to say he still does an amazing job as the character. What makes Robert Furman such an intelligent character is that he believes that there is a way to take down the Nazis in the war. Probably my favorite moment with Robert Furman is where he introduces himself to Moe Berg and he explains to him about his plan to take down the Nazis. It is probably one of the strongest moments in the film. The chemistry between him and Paul Rudd is still really terrific. 

Jeff Daniels Plays the character of William J Donovan. I have to say Jeff the dentist does an awesome job as the character. What makes William J Donovan such an outstanding character is that  much like Moe Berg he also wants to take down the Nazis in the war. Probably the best moment with William J Donovan He had questions Moe Berg about killing professor Eduardo Amaldi. Not only was it really intense but it made sense because in real life Moe Berg was tasked to kill a Nazi scientist It is probably the darkest moment of the entire film The chemistry between him and Paul Rudd  is still very astonishing. 

Sienna Miller plays Estella Huni In the film. I have to say she still does an extraordinary job as the character. What makes Estella Huni such a sympathetic character and that she doesn't want Moe Berg to go to war because she really loves him. Probably the best moment with Estella Huni Is when she had to say goodbye to Moe Berg not only was really powerful but it made sense because in real life she was tasked to go to Japan to Play in a baseball game It is probably the most powerful moment of the entire film/ The chemistry between her and Paul Rudd is still really great.

Paul Giamatti plays Samuel Goudgmit In the film. What makes Samuel Goudsmit such a spectacular character is that he really wants to help Moe Berg fight the Nazis in the war.  Probably the best moment with Samuel Goudgmit Is when he first meets Moe Berg And not only was it a very incredible end perfect moment but it made sense because in real life they teamed up during World War II to try to stop the Nazis from making the atomic bomb it is probably the Strongest moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Paul Rudd is still really terrific. 

The directing by Lewin is still really remarkable Because why I like about his directing is that he pretty much got everything about the life of Moe Berg completely accurate because in real life he was a former baseball player who is recruit to join World War II to kill Walter Heidenberg and prevent the Nazis from making the atomic bomb and killing millions US soldiers during that time and they had to lead his troops into the war too fight against not the Germany. I think it was very exquisite of how he did that.

So in conclusion I don't think this movie is bad as a lot people say it is to be honest there for worse movies like Slender Man and Mile 22 those two movies are way more unwatchable than this. I still think the movie does a tremendous job of depicting World War II and the life of Moe Berg how he went from an ornate baseball player to a World War II soldier. This is definitely one of the most underrated movies of 2018 and it's one of the most underrated Paul Rudd films. I think more people should watch the film before calling it the most boring movie of 2018. If you want to watch a really boring movie then go watch A Wrinkle In Time that film is a lot more boring to the point that nothing really much happens in that film. I think if you enjoy the movie Oppenheimer with Cillian Murphy then I'm sure you're going to like this one. I give this movie a 10/10.
