Audience Member A very poor attemp of making a cold war movie about the soviets. Film made in 1980 about russian trying to keep internal goverment secrets. Movie filmed in Canada, American cars, signs and other Non Russian iotems throughout the film. Film scenes just end with no sense at all. Looks more like a film made for late night TB. 2 stars Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I was surprised by the bad performances from the great actors in this movie. It's probably because the story is so boring and slow. I don't recommend seeing this movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An okay story with great actors, but the characters are one dimensional. This movie was flat, it wasn't visual or deep or anything. It wasn't very good is what I'm trying to say, but it wasn't really bad either, I wouldn't recommend seeing it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie is really cliche. Its your typical individual versus corrupt government picture and was not bad but not amazing. the acting is not bad but the whole movie is just so I don't know I guess predictable and the idea of the whole government being stupid or not being able to catch one person is overdone. Suprisingly at the end though they actually get the job done for the most part or so you think anyway you never find out for sure. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
