It is crucial to understand there are ops who run clandestine operations on foot, and there are analysts who does the back office analytics. Some movies do portray things well. The Benghazi movie "13 Hours" seems like a good portray of CIA operation. A lot of desk work, some meeting with locals and informants, and generally hiding in a secret building doing surveillance work (although I think many does the surveillance directly from U.S. embassy because of the territorial sovereignty and secure infrastructure is in place already). The drug war against Pablo Escobar also showed how CIA involved in the jungle warfare by providing weapons to the opposition, and conducting surveillance on drug lords and politicians from the sky. But I am not going to dispute there aren't assassination attempts. See [1]. On the basis of the investigation, the evidence shows that agents of the CIA were involved in planning in this country with certain citizens and others to seek to assassinate Premier Castro." Bissell also testified that there was discussion within the Agency of the possibility of an attempt on the life of President Achmed Sukarno of Indonesia which 11 progressed as far as the identification of an asset who it was felt might be recruited for this purpose." In [2], there's been reporting that CIA operation in China has been compromised and crippled. Many of the CIA informants are MIA according to the report. CIA operation officers would travel to China and meet informants in cafe or local restaurants. There are CIA operatives living in China like business man. On another note, Japanese spies have been caught, according to [3]. But like in most movies where operatives kill dozens and some car chase?? Meh, I doubt. However, one would wonder, will assassination attempt on NK's Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un ever succeed? [4]. But then again, it won't be CIA who is doing the killing, it will most likely be a NK asset, or some contractor like someone said below. Although, I think it will be a NK asset.
