CIA and FBI jointly handled the case.
The CIA sent a 25-year-old expert, and the KGB agent in the Soviet period turned gorgeously into the American CIA agent Paul. It is explained early in the film that the real identity is Cassius.
The FBI sent young talents to specialize in the study of Cassius’ top students. Through the research of archives, they fully grasped the characteristics of Cassius and realized the “portrait”.
Russia also smuggled a group of agents through the Mexican border, and the leader Bozlovski was thought to be Cassius.
The character setting hopes to become a better spy movie. It's a pity that the plot has few links, and it didn't lift the audience's taste.
It's a pity that the screenwriter or director is lazy, and Paul has arrogantly abused his identity a long time ago, and he doesn't want to design suspense at all. Lose a point first.
The young FBI talent finally figured it out. Paul, who has worked in the CIA for 25 years, is Cassius. He did not disclose to the Americans but contacted the Russian organization. Paul discovered that he was actually a Russian mole. He was 10 years old. Immigrated to the United States and was just activated by a Russian organization last year. He tracked down Cassius. It was discovered that Cassius had killed so many Russians in the past years for revenge. His wife and daughter in Geneva were cleared by the organization and sent by Bozlovski in the early years.
Such a big baggage, gently untied, the screenwriter did not design any shocking effect, just a word from Paul.
In the end, Bozlovski and Paul both died, and originally chose to stay in the United States.
The elements of the spy movie are car chases + fights at the end.
