| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn influential but forgettable and slow-moving sci-fi thriller with an agreeable espionage twist over a controversial secret mind-control experiment. |
| User ReviewStefanie CA fine performance by Bogarde in an otherwise mediocre film. |
| User ReviewColton DWhile there are some impressive and emotionally intense scenes near the end, they are only arrived at via a trail of very bad and very improbable choices. |
| User ReviewBrandon SDrawn out film starring Dirk Bogarde as a scientist that is getting tested with the same techniques that caused a friend to commit suicide just recently. The film moves incredibly slow and feels like the end will never happen and once it does you're left asking that's it? |
