I want to see a movie where a major criminal organization is completely overrun by undercover agents of various governments/agencies, but none of them know it so they keep the organization running for fear of being found out. The true criminals have long since retired.
- iudqnolq 4y agoYou might want Liberty Crossing. It's a mockumentary in the style of The Office, but set in the DHS. One season of TV. There's a subplot vaguely along the lines of everyone being an undercover, although saying more would be a bit too much of a spoiler.
- gumby 4y agoIt's a bit of a spoiler but you may like the film "The Accountant" starring Ben Affleck. Also the Book "A Scanner Darkly" by Philip K Dick which (no spoiler) explores the consequences of deep undercover.
