Audience Member Must be viewed today (2021) while being aware of the type of film genre this represented at the time (1985) based on this despite Caine taking on the role at short notice it's a great thriller! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Manny P What an insipid little movie. It's the equivalent of a patchwork quilt. The opening scenes and digital sound track give it all away regards its crassness. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/20 Full Review Tom M Average spy thriller. Far too confusing first half followed by a far too predictable ending. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/20 Full Review r 9 Decent premise, but it's just a bit of a slow watch for me. That's despite 'The Holcroft Covenant' having moments that either should be or are enjoyable, but in between lies iffy pacing and uninteresting characters. I also found the cinematography lacking, for instance they visit a fair few different countries and yet I never got a feeling for the film's world itself - just scene, cut, scene, cut etc. Michael Caine is entertaining though, as he always seems to be. I enjoyed his performance, some of his humour early on is good. As for those around Caine, I liked Victoria Tennant, Bernard Hepton and Michael Lonsdale. It is a fairly solid cast, to be honest. With that said, I finished watching and just felt like it was missing something. 2½*.

There's little life injected by its cast though so it can feel somewhat staid.
