Lots of intrigue, with many characters and alliances/betrayals to follow through a number of varied locations. Cool to see Lancaster... at who is he aiming a Winchester? Cheshire cat skills by the Frenchman, who is inscrutable even to the smartest CIA FBI man.... Dusty suits at a cool construction chase scene, Mean double-crosses on both sides of the Atlantic Sea... Smooth car chases in a Cadillac, Opel, and Mercedes 240D. Technology from the '70s at the height of CCCP/USA rivalry.... can you guess who Scorpio may be? DEFINITELY American, French, Ethiopian, Austrian, Russian, agents gunning for each other, backstabbing like a mother***, backed by shadowy string-pullers, but the whole show is a bit duller. Could be 20 mins less. Yes, kind of a over-woven mess. Slightly recommended nonetheless.....
