What You Need To Know:
Although this story has a lot of potential and the writing itself isn’t too atrocious, the overall direction will have many viewers wondering, “What?” The acting gives the word “silly” a whole new meaning and at times is quite embarrassing, not to mention the poor editing. There are some brief, mostly inconsequential, references to God in COMPANY MAN, but the movie’s pagan worldview has little else redeeming about it. The outtakes during the credits are particularly offensive and include gratuitous obscenities, nudity and homosexual references

More Detail:
COMPANY MAN is being pitched as “international intelligence just got dumber.” Well, movie making “just got dumber.”
COMPANY MAN is one of those movies that makes one ask, “What were they thinking?” Are John Turturro and Sigourney Weaver’s careers really in that bad a shape to be taking on such ridiculous characters?
Set in the early 1960s, the story to COMPANY MAN is about a grammar teacher, Allen Quimp, with not much going for him, so he pretends to be in the CIA to impress his materialistic wife and live up to the standards that his brothers and sisters have set before him.
Quimp accidentally gets involved in a real espionage plot to help a Russian dancer defect from the Soviet Union during the Cold War. As a result, the CIA decides to really hire him. Now, as a bona fide “Company Man,” he is sent on a wild assignment to Cuba to find Agent X. As it turns out, his bumbling antics are successful, and viewers find out about the “truth” behind the Bay of Pigs incident in Cuba during President John F. Kennedy’s administration.
