Old Agent Men

"Old Agent Men" (Kundschafter des Friedens, 2017) is a German spy comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Four aging ex-GDR intelligence officers — led by Henry Hübchen as the once-legendary Jochen Falk — are pulled out of retirement by the very government that used to be their enemy. Their mission: extract the interim president of Katschekistan before separatists make it permanent. The oversight falls to a young BND agent who has zero faith in her new charges.

Jürgen Prochnow and Michael Gwisdek round out a team of men who all feel history shortchanged them. The film gets more mileage from that shared grievance than from the spy-plot mechanics — which is exactly what makes it work. Stream "Old Agent Men" online on iFILM.
