As part of a delaying tactic for an internal power struggle at the Central Intelligence Agency, an everyman is pointed out as a pawn to be followed as a delaying tactic.
A fantastic, classic, movie. It's simple and with a light tone. I don't think it's particularly recommendable now, but I still like it.

Something something Hungary something mole.
An incredibly slow and boring movie.
based on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - (1974 book), by John le Carré

Agents with a formerly-secret worldwide law-enforcement organization work to safeguard the world from the lesser challenges now too-frequent for superheroes alone.
Good enough, although so far it's one of these episodic shows which has a new problem every episode.
I watched three episodes and liked it, but I took a long break and watched a fourth and couldn't figure anything out or get interested again. I can't recommend this except for those who are heavily hooked on those first few episodes and who intend to properly binge-watch it all.

Desperate for intelligence, a brutal killer is implanted with the memories of a dead operative.
A surprisingly good movie. While not wholly original, it's a good mix of interesting elements. This isn't really a spy movie, and has a surprisingly strong emphasis on characters.

An agent's god-daughter is kidnapped under political circumstances, and complexities necessitate him forming his own team to rescue her.
Quite a good movie. Excellent pacing and music.
Follows from Hamilton - In the Interest of the Nation (2012)

A brainwashed CIA assassin who tried to retire-hide in India with his commonlaw-wife gets pulled into a mystery and stuff when she is killed in an attempt to frame him.
More of the same. Forgettable. It's not worth continuing this series.

A man is fished from the sea and has no memory. He is on the run, but he can use a gun, and a little martial arts like Bruce Lee.
Long and drawn out, with a plot that doesn't even remotely begin to make any sense whatsoever until the movie is basically over.
Brings nothing to the table. I think this was successful not because it's any good but because it was shown during a drought of movies in this genre-ballpark.

A Swedish intelligence agent tracks a missing shipment of arms, uncovering a link to a mercenary organization.
Exceptional. This is not Jame Bond-style, but is a proper adult movie.

A dude begins his career as a night manager for some place somewhere but gets used by British intelligence to act against an arms dealer.
Fairly decent, but I suspect it's only because this is another show with a British accent being thrown around carelessly.
Based on The Night Manager (1993 book), by John le Carré
