Dull

Some may find this to be tedious, but to my delight I loved this film. Stripped of all the tedious plot strands that get added to films and cause them to be dragged down, this is a streamlined suspense movie which, if you peel off the Cold War politics, is spy drama mixed with a tale of human determination in extreme circumstances. Sadly the director and Robert Shaw passed away in post production, but the final film is still very well made. Also look out for David Hess in a small role.
