Firefox

A rare misfire for Eastwood finds him ill-at-ease on both sides of the camera; unable to generate the crackling, conspiracy flavour that the first half requires, we get instead a deadly, earnestly serious recounting of a silly spy plot, before jumping the rails into further absurdity when the phallus of the Firefox takes to the skies! As the lead, he is never convincing as an undercover spy, and his attempts to seem beleaguered and out of his depth are never credible. Gets a bit of juice out of a well-stacked supporting cast drawing on the villains of the era (Lacey, Kahler, Clarke), but you might end up wishing you were watching them in their better movies instead!
