Walter Matthau was a great, unassuming actor, playing the bad guy in this movie, but in such an engaging way that you will root for him!

What's not to like? When you mix Matthau and Jackson in a comedy, get the popcorn(or chips) and sit back an be amused at the farse as it unfolds. Set in the ending gasps of the Cold War, the main protagonist of the paranoid CIA (Ned Beatty) wants to squash any KGB agent like a bug. He is driven to remove the one man who stands in the way for him to achieve the ego stroking goal of capturing the head of the feared KGB. Matthau plays the 'one step ahead' wall between failure and nirvana. Comedy ensues for all to laugh their cares away and root for the plot bungler. Jackson is the co-conspirator in the action, playing a very endearing character with the lost love of her life. The twists and turns in the action, though a little bit corny, are the perfect fun centers for action. Sit back, enjoy, get comfortable for a very endearing farce! Oh.... watch the extra for the background of the real actors and their stories in getting to each role. (a must)Read full review
