Viewing Notes
A pretty solid, cynical ‘70s spy thriller that pairs Burt Lancaster and Alain Delon as CIA operatives and enemies after Lancaster is marked for elimination by the agency he works for.
At times it drags a bit but there are some great action sequences with some cool stunt work but what appear to be the actors themselves. Hats off to Lancaster especially, who was getting up there in age by this time.
