January 27, 2008This war-drama of the Forties with Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffiths is so clever and effective homeage.

August 18, 2007If you don't think too much, its a good movie. Melanie Griffith spying for the Americans as a German domestic even though her story about her background doesn't hold up. Michael Douglas as a spy who doesn't speak any German. Surely the Germans were not that stupid.

January 6, 2007this movie wasnt very good. there are some moments that aer supposed to eb romantic or suspenseful but it just isnt. the best part is the end where theres some action. i got interested when liam neeson showed up. if your bored you can watch it.
