Toller Agententhriller, spannend etc.
Schwache Verfilmung

This customer review refers to a alternative version.

Im Vergleich zum gut geschriebenen Buch fällt die Verfilmung ziemlich schwach aus. Auch ein versierter Schauspieler wie Donald Sutherland vermag den Streifen nicht zu retten.
Zudem bleibt die Frage: Wieso wird die Rolle eines deutschen Spions mit einem Englisch sprechenden Schauspieler besetzt?
sehr spannent
