Solid cold war film with solid actors--interesting storyline and good, but not gory, action scenes.

This film was a first class thriller! Anything with Gene Hackman would have to be A-one! Well scripted with very authentic sets make this one of the best of its kind I've seen in a long time. The kind of roboty role that John Heard plays is rather unusual for him but he was convincing. I'm afraid todays films ( 2008) don't have the authentic wallop they did back then. This one deserves 4 stars!

This film should not get an R rating. Very tame, 60's cold war drama. Not one of Hackmans best., but was just OK. I would not watch it again, it seemed a bit scattered. No character development. I would give it 2 1/2 stars at the most and I am a HUGE Hackman fan. Sorry Gene!
