Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

ComedyCrimeDramaRomanceThriller113 min

At the height of his game-show fame, Chuck Barris claims he was living a second life: television producer by day, CIA assassin by night. Sam Rockwell is Barris, moving from the creation of The Dating Game and the chaos of The Gong Show to covert assignments and killings he says happened off camera. George Clooney directs as Barris’ story toggles between network-TV success and espionage intrigue, with Drew Barrymore and Julia Roberts appearing inside his increasingly slippery account of celebrity, secrecy, and self-invention.
