    Rated - 4 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Excellent espionage... and true to life too..

    Forget it if you want Bond style shoot em up and chase em style cinematised spy games, this is based on true events, and is an excellent interesting and informative watch. everyone in this paints the picture well, but Chris Cooper as the main man Rober Hannsen is outstanding. Bond paced it might not be, enthrallingly interesting it is. Definately worthy of a watch, Recommended.

If you are interested in real life portrails then great, if you want to watch a good film then forget it
