The entire time, it was a bit too realistic for me. It even got really boring, but that was so that I could – even despite all the suspense – make it until the very end and be shocked because my mind was blown by what I thought I minded. Oh France, how do you do it?

Dismal Zürich weather, a dismal atmosphere and one dismal sleeper agent who somebody wakes, but nobody knows who or why. And that dismal agent isn’t like one from a Bond movie, strutting around with a gun in his hand, across roofs, mountains or in exotic destinations, shooting on sight and seducing one girl after another. This one has his daily routine, financial advice and he is at home in the office.

The reliable Lino Ventura in the middle of a murder conspiracy, which aimed to reduce the number of members of the French secret service abroad. Ventura as a sleeper agent, who has long built a solid existence, functional partnerships, and social ties to the extent that he has the right to consider his cover as a real existence, suddenly finds himself in a situation where his previous certainties collapse within a few days and he experiences an increasing sense of uncertainty and fear for himself and his surroundings. It is a film about a world where you cannot trust anyone and where there are no ideals, only the harshest pragmatism and state interests that do not care about the fate of the individual who gets in the way. Overall impression: 75%.

Lino Ventura es un maestro de la expresión al lado de Jean Gabin. Durante toda la película estuve observando cuidadosamente si mostraría alguna emoción. En vano. Es un actor de categoría "rostro de piedra". Sin embargo, no quiero parecer crítico de este famoso y reconocido actor. Al contrario, me gusta y disfruto viendo sus películas de crimen y thriller. Aún así, su estilo de actuación me fascina e irrita al mismo tiempo. En cuanto a esta película, es una delicia de espionaje magistral. La atmósfera se densifica, la paranoia crece, los entrelazamientos de espionaje son enredados y en última instancia, tal vez incluso indescifrables. Me sorprendió la participación de la actriz polaca Janda. Por supuesto, agradablemente.
