Ian S @RT48225084 Aug 4, 2026 Well acted by Fossey, Sheen and Sam Neill. Espionage thriller that falls apart a little in the final 30 minutes with too many reality stretches. All in all a decent effort. See more Chris W @RT83196846 Jul 16, 2026 A little over the top, but a good spy movie from the Cold War era. Liked the cast with Martin Sheen and Sam Neill. Think if it was about 20-30 minutes longer it could have covered more ground and tie up the loose ends. See more Wayne T @RT09607465 Nov 9, 2025 This is a cult classic as the worst Cold War spy B movie. It simply couldn’t be more embarrassing. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic May 9, 2025 A cold war spy drama where the antagonist who is trying to capture the American spy is far more entertaining to watch then the protagonist.

Perhaps the Script-Writer put in one or two twists too many for the average viewer. But the film was certainly well-acted and always kept up the tension and the excitement. How did Sheen know where the Enigma Machine was in East Germany and why wasn't it well-guarded and constantly moved ? Neill went well and has always been under-rated as an Actor but Fossey gave the impression that she had seen and heard so much bullshit that she was numbed by it all, but maybe that is exactly what the Director wanted. The reality was that East Germany itself was always a millstone for The Russians, then Soviet Leader, Josef Stalin, sending then NKVD Leader, Lavrenti Beria, to East Germany in 1952 to hopefully persuade the then East German Authorities to unify with West Germany. True ! But for the film itself all of the crew delivered in terms of how they seen things at the time. Financially, at the time, the film was Bank-Rolled for $8 Million and got back, at the time, $2 Million. See more Read all reviews
