Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Grim, monotonous, and rather facile, though Richard Burton's aging agent has some honest poignancy.

fresh:
The film makes you believe it could have happened. And that's the remarkable thing.

fresh:
What finally impresses, however, is the sheer seediness of so much of the film, with characters, buildings, and landscapes lent convincingly grubby life by Oswald Morris' excellent monochrome camera-work.
– Geoff Andrew,

fresh:
An excellent contemporary espionage drama of the Cold War which achieves solid impact via emphasis on human values, total absence of mechanical spy gimmickry, and perfectly controlled underplaying.
