| DVDJournal.comMark BourneFaithful 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. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeSecond and least successful entry in the Harry Palmer series has its moments. |
| User ReviewDom KCaine is excellent as Harry Palmer, a most unlikely spy, and great deadpan humour. |
| User ReviewAndrew Cthe 'Caine' is brilliant !! regards xx |
| User ReviewDean MAbsolutely the best spy movie of all time. Brings in humour, fleshes out the characters who return from The Ipcress File, and stands as the coolest Michael Caine film of all. "You're useless in the kitchen... why don't you go back to bed?" |
| User ReviewRay RCaine is back as Harry Palmer, this time the cynical, sarcastic spy is tasked with bringing a defector across the berlin wall. This is the perfect Palmer film with an exotic but realistic local, smart dialogue and effortless cool from Caine. |
| User ReviewGareth HA final fling for the very model of every undercover anti-hero. |
| User ReviewMatt DVery solid follow-up to THE IPCRESS FILE. Harry Palmer is sent to Berlin to arrange the defection of Oscar Homolka's funny Russian general but winds up involved in a plot involving a Nazi who has infiltrated British intelligence and the Mossad agents hunting him. A very interesting snapshot of a divided Berlin in the swinging sixties; when I first saw this film in the mid-1980s on TV the Cold War was still going strong and now seems to be making a comeback. |
| User ReviewSrinivas VPretty good movie, Caine makes it worthwhile with another cool performance as Harry Palmer. Some overly confusing bits though. |
| User ReviewMark DA great film, but it's based on a classic story, so it should be! Michael Caine is on form, with a witty dialouge and some cool camera angles to deliver them in! Somewhat overlooked as a poor man's James Bond, for my money these films are better than most Bond films. |
