Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Professional AmateurAt least he is CIA intel and that is actually a big part of spying. The fact he wasn't part of the gun set doesn't make him less a spy. The story however wants you to think of him as a helpless bookworm. John Savage does one of the best roles of his career as a CIA agent that has been relegated to desk duty research which is his forte.

This one was produced during the bad old days of the Cold War, but it still has relevance today, as it deals strongly with the subject of international terrorism, albeit of the Bader-Meinhoff gang variety rather than Islamofascism. No matter. This is a really fine film that most will enjoy. The political message of this film is a bit disappointing, but never let it be said that I allow that to get in the ...
