A channel owned by Universal and they couldn't have found a worse print if they had buried it in a swamp and left it to dry in the Gobi desert for a year. Picture and sound were terrible. Shows how much they care about their films and the content of their channel especially if there's a better print being used for their UK DVD release.
The movie itself I have mixed feelings on. I thought it had promise but never really kicked into gear. Always great seeing Michael Caine in spy mode though and I liked the cast, use of actual locations and the majority of the music. It would be nice to see a clean uncut widescreen print. -

The sluggish pace of the movie is what killed it for me. It crawled for the most part with a few spurts of 'action". The story wasn't compelling enough to really keep you engaged.
I mostly enjoyed the scenery and seeing Michael Caine as a young, leading man.
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
