The American Ratings & Reviews
- MJ MediaJanuary 27, 2025A slow-paced superficial secret agent romance with an expected ending.
- Andrew CloutJuly 4, 2025A rewatch. Enjoyable movie with good acting.
- Patrick WaiJanuary 17, 2026Moody film about a tortured heartbroken assassin. At times a bit too slow. Not a lot of explanations or background info given. I wonder if filming on location is how George Clooney fell in love with Italy. Good job on using the Omega Speedmaster.
