WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesTony Scott asked for more money to film the rooftop scene in "Berlin" (in order to rent a helicopter for an aerial scene) but the producers refused. Scott believed that the scene was important and rented the helicopter with his own money.
- PatzerWhen Duncan is negotiating with Deng, he clearly tells Muir "Deng wants five-hundred-thousand YUAN for the power out in Su Chou." In 1991, this would have been about $95,500 U.S. dollars, so when Muir counter-offers and says "No way. Tell him $100K and I'll pay him in dollars," he is offering more than Deng asked for. The final price, $282,000USD, would have been approximately 1,500,000 yuan in 1991.

Nathan Muir: [inside a CIA briefing room] When I was a kid I used to spend summers on my uncle's farm. And he had this plow horse he used to work with everyday. He really loved that plow horse. One summer she came up lame. It could barely stand. The vet offered to put her down. You know what my uncle said?
Charles Harker: [inside a CIA briefing room] No, Muir, what did he say?
Nathan Muir: [inside a CIA briefing room] He said, why would I ask somebody else to kill a horse that belonged to me?
- Crazy CreditsIn the opening credits, many of the credits are each preceded by a jumble of letters flickering on the screen. This may be a reference to the opening credit sequence of one of Robert Redford's earlier spy movies, Sneakers - Die Lautlosen (1992).

CIA agent Nathan Muir is retiring and learns that his friend is incarcerated in China, he takes it upon himself to free him from the Chinese.
One of the most underrated films of Tony Scott, the film is very much engaging and the viewers who likes espionage spy thrillers will surely like the film. We have seen many edge of the seat spy thriller but this film is quite different from other films, the film will demand your patience due to it's slow speed but will not disappoint you.
Acting is superb and both Redford and Pitt were quite impressive in their respective roles. The screenplay of the film is slow but still have the ingredients to keep you engaged.
Climax of the film is good and satisfying, this film is not the typical spy thriller film but still a great entertainer. A Must watch underrated film.
