A good movie

Honestly, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Michael Caine, I thought I might as well give it a try. To be honest, it is basically one of his many obscure flicks (the guy has made about 120 movies over 7 decades already) but I was actually positively surprised by this feature. Indeed, Michael Caine is definitely an amazing and usually underrated actor and this movie was basically a good old spy flick and Caine gave a really solid performance. On top of that, the directing was decent and the story was really entertaining. In fact, I discovered later on that it was an adaptation of a book written by Frederick Forsyth and the guy also wrote ‘The Day of the Jackal’ which turned out to be one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. To be honest, this movie never reaches the level of awesomness displayed by ‘The Day of the Jackal’ but it was still a fairly realistic thriller and it was definitely entertaining. To conclude, even though it is not really a masterpiece, it is still a really solid thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
