Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Energetic and inventive, it's a satirical, smart, grown-up thriller.

Chicago Sun-Times
A real movie, rich and atmospheric, savoring its disreputable characters and their human weaknesses.

The first really good spy movie about the impossibility, under present historical circumstances, of making a really good spy movie.

Forget the end and there is much to enjoy here.

A cut above the preposterous action spectacles that now pass for espionage films.
