This is a fantastic movie, and so well told that the mix of characters, countries and languages is easy to follow. Plus a great production, with... cellent acting/casting, and many beautiful scenes of Moscow. And what an important part of history...history that happened in this lifetime. Don't miss it!

I have to admit that I was not interested in seeing this film at all. My husband convinced me to give it a try and I was blown away with this film.... t is engaging and gripping but does not over do it. There are no huge budgeted car chases or things blowing up, but the story pulls you in and does not let you go until the credits start to roll! SEE THIS FILM!!!! Full Review

Absorbing film from the first frame. I was mesmerized by this non-James Bondian spy story. There are no elaborate chases, but there is suspense. I... realized at one point I had stopped breathing. It is not often that I can say that about any film. A must see. Full Review

That's another thing about Carion's direction: He has an eye for unusual, atmospheric touches -- the kinds of striking little things you notice in the world and think: "Somebody should put that in a movie."Full Review

The source of all this information was a real-life KGB agent, Vladimir Vetrov, code named Farewell, and with the usual adjustments for drama his story gets a respectable retelling in this nervy French production.Full Review

It's juicy, fascinating stuff, well orchestrated by Carion and finely thesped -- especially by Kusturica.Full Review

As both men lie to loved ones to keep their exchange alive, the tension builds and becomes unbearable.Full Review

More than most espionage movies, the film is about relationships, the men with each other, the men with their own disapproving wives, and governments with each other. Everyone courts someone.Full Review
