Review – The Falcon and the Snowman

Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn are reunited not too long after their appearance together in Taps. This time around Hutton is a disenchanted techie for the CIA and Penn is his ne’er-do-well boyhood chum. Hutton decides to relieve his anxiety about Company dirty tricks by using Penn as a go-between in a plot to sell spy satellite codes to the Soviets. The whole thing is just dull and dumb enough to be based on a true story. Mildly amusing
