"The Man Between" is a well-shot (with lots of tilted camera angles) spy melodrama, but it's never as gripping as it should've been. The first half is too plotty, and when the characters take over later, we feel we don't know enough about them to get really moved by their growing idyll. The actors try their best, the ending IS a great sequence, but this is still far from being a "classic". (**1/2)
