Confessions of a Dangerous Mind — official trailer

What is Confessions of a Dangerous Mind about?

Television made him famous, but his biggest hits happened off screen. Television producer by day, CIA assassin by night, Chuck Barris was recruited by the CIA at the height of his TV career and trained to become a covert operative. Or so Barris said.

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a 2002 American biographical spy film directed by George Clooney in his directorial debut and written by Charlie Kaufman. It stars Sam Rockwell as game show host and producer Chuck Barris; based on Barris' 1984 "unauthorized autobiography" of the same name, in which he makes unsubstantiated claims to have worked for the CIA, it also depicts Barris' alleged second career as an international assassin, albeit in an over-the-top, absurdist manner. Drew Barrymore, Clooney, Julia Roberts and Rutger Hauer star in supporting roles.
