Oh boy, where to begin? One of the few films that Caine barely mentioned in either of his two autobiographies, simply describing it as "yet another bad film". Well, it certainly wasn't a successful film. But bad? Yes and no. Based on the novel by Robert Ludlum, The Holcroft Covenant is a film of two halves. The first, for the most part, is pretty good.
