Pauline Kael The New Republic 09/19/2023
About the only thing that made Palmer amusing [in The Ipcress File] was his shabby small-time “professional’s” indifference to the larger stakes: improve his character and you take away the only character he had. Go to Full Review Raquel Stecher Out of the Past 02/27/2020
the least interesting of the [first] three Harry Palmer films... Mostly due to a lack of character development and the numerous double-crossings make the plot difficult to follow. Go to Full Review Mark Bourne DVDJournal.com 04/06/2006
Faithful hardcore genre fans will find much to like here among the cloaks and daggers.... On the other hand, the pacing is slow and the twisty, sometimes flabby script might be frustrating for a viewer not fully engaged with such skullduggery. Go to Full Review Tony Medley tonymedley.com 09/13/2005

Alex E 04/04/2024 A really good film with Michael Caine. 5 stars from me. See more Paul M 03/16/2023 Eva Renzi is worth watching doing the washing up, loved it if only Berlin was still like this See more 02/12/2022 Beautifully evocative but with Eva Renzi could have been so much more Bond like, really pleasant 2 hours if you like Berlin Wall capers See more 03/07/2021 I needed three cups of coffee to get all the way through this... I'm sorry, I'm sure for certain crowds this is a tense spy thriller, but I was just bored to tears. See more paul d @PaulusLoZebra 03/15/2020 A very good spy movie, highlighted by a magnificent Michael Caine, Oscar Homolka, the gritty ambiance of Berlin, and a twisting, intricate plot. Better pace, clarity and sequencing could have made this a masterpiece of the genre. See more 01/03/2020 It takes a while to get going. Terrence Young directs solidly, without the flair of Ipcress File director, Sidney J. Furie. I knew the ending would be mildly unsatisfactory, as is the case with several of Young's films. It does feel like a novel though, which is a good thing, if you adjust pacing. Caine is excellent and the cast is strong. The production also looks very good in the cleaned-up version on Amazon. Also, a strong feeling and style of mid-sixties Berlin. Very good, but not quite excellent. Recommended for lovers of the genre. See more Read all reviews
