| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyHere is a terribly flawed movie that earns its value via the style and grace of Cornelia Sharpe and Sean Connery. The twist at the end is a good thing too. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzEven in a bad film, an uninspired Connery is still watchable. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA movie with an impenetrable plot that nevertheless has its moments. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelA suspense melodrama made by people whose talent for filmmaking and knowledge of international affairs would both fit comfortably into the left nostril of a small bee. |
| User ReviewRichard DIf you can get past the extreme implausibility of Sean Connery being cast as a Saudi Arabian diplomat, you'll find that this is an extremely dull film. After his predecessor is assassinated, Connery comes to New York to address the United Nations and announces sweeping changes to OPEC and relations with Israel. People threaten to kill him, he wanders around New York, dates a British woman, and it all culminates in a twist everybody has seen coming for the last hour. |
