Where to Watch The Fourth Protocol
- SubbydubbySeptember 2, 2026Decent polit thriller. Nice pace for that '87 time.Jung Brosnan and Caine. I miss those times.
- ZokkiieAugust 27, 2026Pretty decent Cold War thriller. Michael Caine is great as always, and Pierce Brosnan is surprisingly good as the villain. I liked the whole cat-and-mouse thing between them, and the main plot is pretty interesting once Caine starts figuring out what's actually going on. It does get a bit slow and overly complicated in places, and some of the spy stuff feels pretty dry. The tension comes and goes too, so it never quite becomes as gripping as it could've been. Still, the Cold War setting works really well, and there's enough good stuff here to make it worth a watch.
- Dushu VacadePlusJune 27, 2026Totally unrealistic and with an anticlimactic ending
- TubzOctober 17, 2025Caine's best spy thriller, with a commendable performance from Brosnan. Not a "Harry Palmer" but we can ignore than small fact.
- 0 1July 8, 2025Good spy thriller. The book is even better.
