Most helpful review The Ipcress File

FILED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

By a customer from Rosslare , 07 Nov 2003

[Highly rated reviewer]

Welcome to Len Deighton's world. A world of postwar begining to swing London, spies, raincoats, and Whitehall Inteligence interdepartmental jostling, with small but effective hand guns and not a bit of CGI or gadgetry in site. But it is what is not there that makes these films and the Ipcress File intriguing. They may hardly be thrilling any more but they carry a black'n'white mystery now that produces real suspense. In the end the technology on dispaly and it's iccumbent horrors have now been done better and sadly to death. But it is the completeness and originality of these characters and their sad lives which enages, the lineage to Dirty Harry and Mr McQueen setting San Fran to rights on frozen food in Bullit so clear. Truth is Michael Caine, did most of it first and not many people know that...

Solid conspiracy File

By a customer from Dundee , 04 Dec 2008

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

Came in a free newspaper pack with Brief Encounter, and I can say, this one was much more interesting... if a little standard. Michael Cane looking rather young as a roguish special investigator, who finds himself uncovering brainwashing technology and a deep seeded conspiracy.

It has twists, but nothing too drastic, you can see when the plot shifts the gears and sends you down the wrong tracks to make the twist at the end more compelling. Not a bad film, goes at a steady pace of intrigue and has a satisfying conclusion.

Better than bond.

By FilmyC (27 reviews) from Runcorn , 06 Dec 2007

To me being better than Bond isn't saying much. I never really got it. The silly plots, daft names, gadgets, explosions and all that jazz. It just seems like style over substance. Now Harry Palmer and the Ipcress File is plenty of style and plenty of substance. Believable characters, a realistic plot, brilliant camera work where you actually feel like you are spying on the protaganists and an iconic score make this film, so much more than Moore. I really enjoyed this, despite Caine's wooden performance.
