　　英国摄制的间谍动作片，根据佛德烈．福赛的畅销小说改编，描述苏联的情报局计划展开一场惊天大阴谋，目的是要摧毁北大西洋公约组织和英美两国的友好关系。他们派出一名高级情报员乔装混入英国的一个小镇，伺机在当地的美军基地装置核弹加以破坏。迈克．凯恩饰演的英国间谍侦破这个阴谋，乃千方百计阻止奸计得逞。有趣的是饰演苏联特务的皮尔斯．布鲁斯南，日后却成为苏联特务的克星007。导演约翰．麦肯西处理气氛尚称紧凑，而冰天雪地的外景则增加了戏剧场景的可看性。

　　A pilots pregnant wife is killed by a band of thugs who break into their home. The gang is caught and sent off to prison. Wanting to see that "justice" is done the pilot stages his own death and then gets himself arrested so he can hunt the killers in the prisons into which they have been sent.
　　
　　To be honest the story is a bit clichéd with the plot taking some obvious paths once things are set in motion. Normally that would be a bad thing but here the film works largely thanks to a very good cast of mostly unknown actors. The stand out is Andy Serkis, best known for playing Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies. Here he's the head of the nasty band and his vileness seems to drip off the screen. If you want to know why Peter Jackson chose him to play the tortured creature in the big budgeted epic look no further. Serkis isn't on screen much until the final portion of the film, but his evilness in the early part of the film hangs over everything like a dark cloud.
　　
　　Definitely worth a look for those who want an undemanding thriller, and those who want to see what Andy Serkis is capable of when he isn't doing just a computer generated character. 6.5 out of 10.
