About
You may enjoy this if you like offbeat Cold War thrillers with a more flamboyant, Bond-like edge than The Quiller Memorandum; Not for you if tangled plotting and slower stretches quickly lose your patience.
Pros: entertaining lead performance; striking locations; oddball spy vibe | Cons: confusing story; uneven pacing; less tension
