Dry fare or perfect film?
The film does well at IMDb with a 6.8/10. At MovieMeter the film scores 3.1 /5 and opinions differ widely. Viewer Anister says about the film. “Discontinued early; what a dry fare. I’m not even going to start the other two films of the Worricker trilogy.”
Viewer BlueJadaskiss disagrees, stating, “Rarely perfect movie that left me breathless watching – and I’m not a big fan of spy movies. Cast, music, camera, editing, pace, plot, dialogue: it’s all perfect and I got a very wide grin from this. Many times more fascinating and better than the needlessly boring Tinker Tailor re-make.”
On Netflix
Despite the different opinions, the film has managed to occupy a spot in the Netflix Top 10 for several days now. Look at the movie at the streamer.
