Michael Caine plays an aging intelligence agent who picks up clues that the ingredients for such an apocalypse are being smuggled piece-by-piece into the U.K. But he cannot seem to get his superiors to care. Caine is outstanding in a role that seems tailor-made for him, and Pierce Brosnan is very good as the Russian agent working undercover in England to effect the planned tragedy. The film perfectly captures a spreading suspicion and resentment toward superpower adventurism, even though such sentiments are, in fact, being exploited by the bad guys. Caine, as always, suggests a man walking a narrow line through a gauntlet of moral compromises. SPECIAL FEATURES: This Special Edition U.K. DVD includes a Photo Gallery, 30 Minute featurette including interviews with Michael Caine, Frederick Forsyth and Pierce Brosnan, Trailer, Commentary Track with Frederick Forsyth.
