Slightly better than better than Bullet to Beijing, this fifth installment of the Harry Palmer series of films is no match for the first two.
Being a TV movie you just don't get the same action or suspense of a proper cinematic movie and Caine is just going through the motions.
Connery is ok as Nick and the rest of the cast are passable to, but that's the main problem of a film about stolen art and plutonium. It's just not exciting enough.
On the plus side at under 90 minutes the film doesn't outstay it's welcome.
