Dry, sometimes confusing, and ultimately boring story of an ex-gov't official who looks for answers after his son is found dead. Caine is great as always but the movie doesn't live up to his example. The ending is especially confusing. Things seem to happen far too easily and yet it is difficult to say what was accomplished. Tries to go into John Le Carre territory but isn't successful. Rent The Spy Who Came In From The Cold instead.

My wife an I enjoyed this sorta-typical-CIA-plot movie, although at times it was a bit hard to decypher their British accents.

Very enjoyable though one shouldn't be surprised with the veteran actors in the film.

Kent F.

good idea and very good acting, but develops too slowly and doesn't take the plot far enough.
