Movie Reviews

Russian secret intelligence group
Reader | Boca Raton, FL | 03/10/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I have stumbled across this movie in my library. It is a true story about the secret Russian intelligence group called GRU. This was elite espionage group in competition for the information gathering business with KGB. Its members are young middle class Russian men, indoctrinated in believing that USSR is superior to other countries and parts of the world. In their patriotic fervor to serve their country, these young men find themselves in western Europe recruiting western engineers, scientists and small business owners to sell them information about the latest technology developed by the military and private business. This is a true story of the young Russian spy who over time realises that he is dispensable to GRU and in order to save his life, he turns himself over to the British. Sentenced to death in absence by USSR courts, this spy is hidden in the west where he is protected by the British secret police and writes books while in undisclosed exile. If you are fan of the Polish film, you will recognize some of the better known Polish actors."
