Title Information

Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind
Young, energetic and focused on a top career in the growing television industry, Chuck Harris (Sam Rockwell) finds himself being followed by a suspicious character (Clooney as CIA agent Jim Byrd) who quickly lures him into a secretive and dangerous world: that of a CIA operative. While Barris gains notoriety as a dynamic television producer - creating such innovative and popular game shows as "The Newlywed Game" and the self-hosted "The Gong Show" - he regularly executes assassinations for the United States government.

Barris soon begins to lose grip of his dangerous double life and finds himself torn between his loving girlfriend Penny (Drew Barrymore) and the mysterious international operative known as Patricia (Julia Roberts). His TV shows eventually receive mass criticism from the public who accuse him of contaminating the airwaves and he finds himself marked for death by a traitor operative. Barris must regain control of his life or face losing everything he has worked and murdered for.

Blockbuster Feature





The 'true' story of a CIA agent who masquerades as a quiz show host by day.

George Clooney's playful directorial debut proves the ex-ER heartthrob is as good behind the camera as in front of it.

The story follows the incredible autobiographical claims of famed US quiz show maestro Chuck Barris (Rockwell), who alleges he was trained up as a CIA assassin during his high-profile television career.

Clooney cameos as Barris's CIA handler, Jim Byrd, replete with oiled moustache and hair, every bit the '50s Svengali. Barrymore is superb as Barris's long-suffering girlfriend, Penny, forever struggling to understand what her wayward partner has got himself into.

Great performances all round - particularly from Roberts as a vampish CIA agent - and Clooney directs well throughout.
