Reviews


91
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - Sean Axmaker
Energetic and inventive, it's a satirical, smart, grown-up thriller.
88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
A real movie, rich and atmospheric, savoring its disreputable characters and their human weaknesses.
80
The New York Times - Dana Stevens
The first really good spy movie about the impossibility, under present historical circumstances, of making a really good spy movie.
75
Philadelphia Inquirer - Desmond Ryan
Forget the end and there is much to enjoy here.
70
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
A cut above the preposterous action spectacles that now pass for espionage films.
