About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a more grounded, Cold War-leaning spy adventure with plenty of action and travel, especially if you like the tone of The Eagle Has Landed; Not for you if you want nonstop speed or a standout villain.
Pros: grounded Cold War tension; exciting chases and stunts; scenic Mediterranean locations | Cons: uneven pace; confusing, convoluted plot; villains and chemistry bland
