15 Most Underrated Spy Movies Of All Time

Did someone say CIA propaganda? Well, if ever there were a perfect chaser for the Company's cinematic advertisements, it would be 2002's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

A career-making role for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Oscar winner Sam Rockwell, this tragi-comic sort of biography sees the actor star as Chuck Barris, a troubled gameshow host from the swinging sixties who claimed to live a double life as a government assassin.

Trippy and darkly hilarious, this flick works as both a cynical send up of seventies spy adulation and as a dark satire of Cold War paranoia, with George Clooney's icy direction giving Rockwell's virtuoso turn room to shine.

It's a good thing co-stars Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore were willing to lower their asking price to get this one in the can.
