Blu B Nov 5 It's not bad actually. The problems are really in the first half which is just ok and kind of boring. It feels like 2 movies with Bronsan & Lee together trying to hunt down the bad guys and stop the plot and the other with Donald Plesance and the other victims. The two never interact really until the very end so it feels like they never really tie together that well. It's also very uninspired to look at at times too. Which is kind of crazy given this is such a strong director. I think a big issue it's just very grey weather lots of times, and it never stays in one location for long. The explosions are really good though. Apart from the mediocre cinematography is the acting which is just alright too. The two leads don't really have much chemistry together, Bronsan as a Soviet is less believable than Arnold in Red Heart, and pretty much everyone here is forgettable. Heck it feels like Bronsan just diappears at times. Everything else is half decent though thanks to the final 30 minutes or so pickup. There really isn't much suspense because we know what's happening right from the start so it's not like Manchrian Candidate. Lots of this film is just the two leads talking in rooms or cars on the road and it just gets very boring. The premise is interesting and when it throws a twist in at the end it does work. It's cut from the same cloth as something like Three Days of the Condor and Manchurian Candidate but nowhere near as refined. If your a die hard fan of any actors here or Siegal maybe check it out. But most could skip this and not miss much. Too it's credit it's never really convuluted and can be followed though.

This even could even be true, not just fiction. Realistic like any 007 or Mission Impossible movie.

See more 07/28/2017 Slow moving with a laconic Bronson taking his sweet time doing much of anything. There is zero chemistry between the leads and the ending is lame. See more Read all reviews
