You take that combined with added realism of the the cold war era locations (1970&#8217;s and 80&#8217;s Poland) and you really <strong>FEEL<\/strong> like you are there, behind the Iron Curtain at the apex of the Cold War. Since the movie was made in Poland, it&#8217;s stars are all primarily from Poland, but that does not detract from the quality one bit. All of the acting, including that from American actor Patrick Wilson (of <em>Fargo<\/em>) who plays Kuklinski&#8217;s CIA handler, is top-notch.<\/p>\n<p>If you are like me and are both an Intelligence and Cold War buff, you definitely need to check this one out.<\/p>\n<p>Stay Dangerous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every once in a while Netflix surprises you with a really good out of left-field spy movie.
