This movie shares a cinematic heritage with many other movies about international intrigue and characters who are masters of disguise or espionage. This one is interesting because it comes from a unique time when there were a lot of changes going on in the world. The setting is in post-communist Russia and involves energy tycoons engaging in shady behavior. There is also a storyline involving cold fusion that can only be viewed as somewhat silly in retrospect. In any case, the setting and details are not necessarily all that important for a movie like this. The main character, played by Val Kilmer, is an orphan who has mastered the art of disguises and trickery and works as a freelance espionage specialist. His eventual romantic interest and side kick is played by Elizabeth Shue who is as charming as ever, albeit completely unbelievable as a renown scientist. Kilmer and Shue seem to develop some chemistry in the film and Kilmer turns in another unique and engaging performance. The action sequences are just low-key enough to be somewhat different than many of these types of movies but still fast-paced enough to keep the viewer interested.
