"Farewell"

Four Stars!! Splendid espionage thriller -- Based on a real life Colonel in the KGB who managed to help the United States get rid of Russian spies in its midst! In 1981 he convinced a French engineer (not a trained spy) who was working in Moscow to deliver secret documents to France, wheere they could be put into the hands of the U.S. government. (Fred Ward plays President Reagan) This is a true story, directed, and co-written by Christian Carion. The two main leads are not only excellent actors, but directors in their own right. Top flight entertainment. (In French & Russian- with English subtitled, of course.) Suspense, intrigue, courage: good stuff. See "Farewell" (code name for the courier) SP
