Our take

Michael Caine stars in this iconic British film based on Len Deighton’s popular spy novel. A stylish, mod-influenced spy thriller that acts as a brilliant counterpoint to James Bond, the film is ripe with Cold War paranoia, trippy 60s visuals, and anxieties about the mass influence of brainwashing.
