nick s A solid spy thriller with quite good acting. Although the word thriller might be a little misplaced here. As with a lot of these old spy movies the audience is expected to remember a number of off screen characters. It's easy to lose track if you're not paying attention. Overall I found it a little dull but it was good enough to watch till the end. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Gerard A Although Peppard doesn't get a lot of respect in the U.S. anymore (thank you A-team) this is a good B - movie worth spending a rainy Saturday afternoon with. It has a storyline that is not outlandish and can be followed if you pay attention.
