Reviews:
"Caine exudes deep-frozen charm. As cool as permafrost, still." - 02/01/2006 Uncut, p.96
"[T]here's still a sense of swinging London glamour in Caine's iconic, horn-rimmed-glasses-wearing performance." - 03/01/2006 Sight and Sound, p.89
3 stars out of 5 -- "The spare, slow-burning film is the antithesis of the 007 franchise's excesses, and all the more enjoyable for it." - 02/01/2009 Empire
