BRAD PITT, Spy Game n Told by remarkably hapless but doggedly faithful CIA lawyer Russell Aiken, in Bishop's Endgame, Tom Bishop and Nathan Muir will have their final face-off along a border between two countries, two centuries, two world orders; between life and death and two versions of themselves: who they want to be and who the Spy Game makes them. n A thinking man's thriller...
