why does this movie exist

Alt text: The movie Bricklayer. Overview: Someone is blackmailing the CIA by assassinating foreign journalists and making it look like the agency is responsible. As the world begins to unite against the U.S., the CIA must lure its most brilliant - and rebellious - operative out of retirement, forcing him to confront his checkered past while unraveling an international conspiracy.

In reality, the CIA would be the ones funding the assassination of foreign journalists 🤦‍♀️

The tags at the bottom are hilarious lol, who’s searching through the “journalist killed” tag looking for something to watch‽

It could be a way of finding a specific movie, when you can't remember the name, but can remember some details.

It's softcore for the IDF.

This has so many problems. Like, starting with the fact that the CIA never admits anything unless the entire rest of the US government puts a gun to their head, and sometimes not even then, so why would they be able to be blackmailed? It comes down to "Your fabricated evidence vs. CIA fabricated evidence", and the CIA is probably better at fabricating evidence, tbh.

Another being that, historically, the CIA has assassinated foreign journalists and... the world didn't unite against us. Like, it was a blip on the international relations radar. Which, while fucked up, suggests that it's a terrible fucking choice to try to blackmail the CIA with.
