Prior to watching this film I had never heard of Moe Berg and knew nothing about his life during World War II. The story is most certainly worth the telling; however, the all-star cast is sadly wasted here. As much as I despise most remakes, Moe Berg and his life-story deserves a more thorough, big-screen retelling - one where the key characters are explored a bit more than barely at all.
