What is this doing in the top 250 films

Rating: 1/10 (11 November 2003)

This film is a poor mans James Bond. Hitchcock might be the master of suspense but he sure ain't the master of spy thrillers as this film goes from bad to worse. This may have been mildly interesting in the fifties/sixties, however a modern viewer must find this film very boring. This has no place in the top 250, let alone the top 20. If you like Hitchcock I would watch this and compare to his over classics. If Hitchcock doesn't float your boat, avoid at all costs
