Solid thriller with Michael Caine out to foil a KGB plot to destroy NATO, whilst on the way uncovering a web of lies and deceit as top British and Russian spies try to outwit each other by passing on documents containing plans to blow up an American airbase, in East Anglia, with a nuclear weapon. Pierce Brosnan is the KGB agent assigned to help assemble and detonate the bomb. There are a few nice twists and the film whisks along at a good pace, but the acting isn't great - particularly from Julian Glover as Caine's boss who rather overplays his role, but the score, decent cinematography, plot and a little bit of classic Caine badassery (this time dispatching racist skinheads on a train), make up for it. Thus ends probably my most gramatically incorrect and rushed review ever.
4/5
