Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Bridge of Spies or The Bourne Ultimatum, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 7 min.
What might put you off
Made in 1969: an older pace and style.

Copenhagen, Denmark, 1962. When a high-ranking Soviet official decides to change sides, a French intelligence agent is caught up in a cold, silent and bloody spy war in which his own family will play a decisive role.
