Critiques (1)
This is a decent atmospheric suspense film, whose plot structure does not deny its source from the book's and its author (Forsyth was always good), who also wrote the screenplay for The Fourth Protocol. Caine is good as always, Brosnan uniquely negative and slimy, and the final idea is good. I wasn't actually bored during the film and I praise Schifrin's music and MacKenzie's direction. I just didn't understand why Russian spy-terrorists pass on ciphers written in English.
