    Though he's too much of a craftsman to produce a complete turkey, Eastwood the director is never so dull as when he's tackling a spy movie. Stupidly, the film cannot decide whether to use the Russian language when Eastwood, supposedly fluent, is talking to enemy soldiers, or whet...( read more)her both parties should just speak English with the understanding that they're actually talking in Russian. Not only is this confusing, it's ridiculous because we get Russian-accented soldiers, who are actively seeking a foreign agent, happily conversing in English with American-accented Eastwood; one gasps with incredulity at how they can't spot him.

    A dodgy film with even more dodgy SFX....stick to Top Gun for your aerial action!

    Muy buena. Un clasico de la guerra fria. Aunque le fallaron gacho... porque el MiG-31 no tiene esa forma. Por lo demas, esta buena.

    A guilty pleasure that completely intrigued me as a child. The climax with the jet still holds up and the FX were remarkable for their time. The rest of the film is dated and the first half comes across extremely slow. Still, it's a fascinating effort.

    An under-rated Cold War thriller...Meet Clint's new toy!
