This movie is great. The cast is absolutely fantastic. It's in the fairway of "Three days of condor" or "Twilight's Last Gleaming" although the suspense doesn´t come that close. Anyway, this one will give you a lot of thinking about conspiracy, the dirty game of politics and the world of the secret services.
But here is my advice: please don't watch the german version. I don't have a clue why they cut it for at least 20 minutes. The running time of 80 minutes ist not comprehensible. Sometimes it is even ridiculous, for example when Hackman wears a different shirt from one scene to another and you don't even realize that he has changed places. You can imagine what the consequences for the plot and the suspense are... Totally crackbrained!
