Charles Bronson plays a KGB agent with a mission to stop deranged (whatelse?) Donald Pleasence from setting off a group of terrorists attacks by activating brain-washed agents via the telephone. It is certainly not the worst way to spend a couple of hours. The plot is a little shaky and ultimately the ending leaves a little bit to be desired, but Bronson is believable enough. Lee Remick plays his secret agent partner. Remick was always a very underrated actress in my opinion, so it was nice to see one of her movies. Pleasence is exactly what you would expect out of him in his later years. The CIA agents are throwaways, even with super-smart computer whiz Tyne Daly on their side. All in all it is not the most memorable of the cold war spy thrillers, but a long cry from the worst.
