Forget the title..... - Pride and Extreme Prejudice review by SB
it really has nothing to do with the subject matter, which is standard Cold-War spies and traitors stuff with a bit of a twist, set in West and East Germany in the 1980s. Alan Howard plays his stiff upper lip man with a well-concealed heart, the Americans keep an eye on things in case the British screw up, the Russians are devious, etc etc. Anyone and everyone can get betrayed at the drop of a hat. Looks like a bit of a period piece now, especially as the budget was far from that of James Bond. Although it is no doubt a lot more realistic than Bond. Frederick Forsyth is wheeled on to make some pointless comments at the start. Brian Dennehy plays the crumpled central character well. Worth watching once, anyway.
