    It is an old movie but definitely a great thriller, even if it has been seen before. We enjoyed a great deal and do recommend this movie. Violence and minimal and acceptable nudity. Sherrington

    A very enjoyable thriller from the Cold War. Michael Caine is superb in this turn, and the story is gripping, never making the suspension of disbelief difficult to achieve.
