Love the hypocricy of Elizabeth watching Reagan. "He's terrible. He doesn't care," while Elizabeth and Phillip have both killed plenty of innocent Americans.

Yes, and no.

Looking at it from her (KGB/Russian) perspective, their actions are for the "greater good" and are; therefore, justifiable (just as the reverse argument was made regarding the Contras by the USA). If anything, she's not being hypocritical because in that scene she was still racking herself over letting the traitor kill the "true believer" for the purpose of the mission (in other words, Elizabeth cares where Reagan does not).

As you like to say...layers.
