Israeli spy Eli Cohen fought a series of spy missions in Damascus in the early 1960s. Cohen spied for Israel and managed to integrate himself into Syrian high society and major state policies within a short period. Cohen was uncovered by the Syrian regime during that period, where he was sentenced to death and publicly hanged in Damascus Square in 1965 where he was able to be the hero of Israel.
Sacha Baron Cohen provides another reminder that being a clown requires serious acting chops, which the famous prankster puts to use in "The Spy," a taut Netflix limited series based on a pretty remarkable true story.
The Spy is definitely not as flashy as a James Bond or Jason Bourne thriller but makes up for action with truly nail-biting moments.Too deliberately paced for the big screen but feels more like a feature film than a television series.
The Spy is another high-wire act from the nonpareil screen presence, albeit a shakier one that often lives and dies on the actor's very particular set of skills.
