Essentially a cold war agitprop matinée. The first is the world-weary vet recluse coerced into a dangerous mission to annoy the Russians. The second bit is that annoying of the Russians. This second half of the film is less interesting than the first but much more fun.
Like Bond films the excitement isn't really in the action but in the trappings of the spy, the detail - gadgets, counterfeit papers, disguises and the psychology of the chase. Eastwood (directing himself) looks permanently harassed, even when he's in his four-hour-long shower prior to the execution of his mission. There's great support from the British actor Warren Clarke as his Russian point man and someone put a lot of effort into designing the outrageous fighter planes which make the final twenty minutes such a blast. 5/10
