Chuck Barris wrote an “unauthorized” autobiography, claiming that on top of his duties producing and creating such TV hits as The Gong Show and The Dating Game, he was a CIA assassin. George Clooney makes a bold directorial debut adapting those memoirs to the screen as though they were the truth. Sam Rockwell is amazing in the role of the quirky game show guru. With a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation), and great camerawork from Newton Thomas Sigel, Clooney has himself a well-structured, great-looking picture. Also starring Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts and Clooney as Rockwell’s CIA contact.
