Man, what a miss. Instead of giving us a clear story they just repeat the same points over and over. A female agent who was in Moscow and her handler talk about what she did. For 2 year she was dropping packages once in a while for TRIGON, a Soviet spy, who would then give CIA photos of documents. That's it. That's her job. After 2 years of course Soviets figured out what was going on and captured TRIGON. He was therefore dead. The woman was found out and kicked out of the country. Simple.

Instead of giving us the TRIGON story about what he did we have the male handler constantly talk about how amazing it is that she is a WOMAN. Like she's some super being for being female. We just hear about these drops she did and nothing else. But the fact that she is a woman is made into a giant point that's repeated every 5 minutes. She herself just talks about boring stuff. Basically, she made drops as they figured KGB would not suspect a woman and the operation would last forever. Well, that lasted 2 years so I guess it was a disaster. An agent captured in Soviet meant dead and he died before even turning 40. But instead they claim it was a success because ... she is a woman.
