What turns me off about it is the overwhelming negative tone throughout. The majority of the reviews are almost hit pieces. At least, that was my take on it.Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-28409232457705773772017-02-20T10:51:57.289-06:002017-02-20T10:51:57.289-06:00You may find this one fits your budget better:

It seems like one more area where these movies try to one-up the Bond movies in a friendly way.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-71623639022750606342017-01-30T10:30:45.456-06:002017-01-30T10:30:45.456-06:00I recommend buying "The International Spy Fil...I recommend buying "The International Spy Film Guide 1945 - 1989", by Richard Rhys Davies, a true work of art on the spy cinema of the Cold War:<br />https://www.kisskisskillkillarchive.com/book-shop/Johny Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537149940644341595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-25167800908807941362017-01-30T09:05:40.895-06:002017-01-30T09:05:40.895-06:00I love the film reviews.
