Short Review

A solid spy movie that focuses on a long operation rather than the usual short, in-and-out operation that many spy movies focus on. Unfortunately, this leads to some tedium and lack of focus by the director in the telling of the story. The twists and turns, backstabbing and moving parts are well managed and the story can be followed. Not a lot of action to carry the story, and the voice over Russian translations are spotty in some sections, which can be a little disorientating. Still, entertaining.
