exciting spy film, 2 April 1999
7/10
Author: helpless_dancer from Broken Bow, Oklahoma

The first hour of this movie was very slow, but when it kicked into gear it went all out. A high level Russian mole in the U.S. Government is being pursued throughout the film. The chase keeps narrowing down more and more drawing the government officials closer and closer to the culprit. The tension became almost unbearable as the mole was about to be trapped. A real nail biter with a super twist at the end. Well worth seeing.
