COMPANY MAN

What You Need To Know:

Set in the early 1960s, 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 wife. Quimp accidentally gets involved in a real espionage plot to help a Russian dancer defect from the Soviet Union. 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.

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
