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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review delysid d kind of hate spy movies Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/22/21 Full Review william s Keeps your interest in the story even as it's a tad clumsy and jumbled in the beginning.
