The Assignment
114 minutes (18) Columbia Tristar
Director: Christian Duguay
review by Tony Lee
Excellent spy thriller inspired by a true story behind the
capture of the infamous terrorist, Carlos the Jackal. Aidan Quinn plays, with great
conviction, a US Navy officer pressed into service - way above and beyond normal duty
- as the villain's double, by Donald Sutherland's ruthlessly manipulative CIA agent.
The plan is to trick the KGB, who control Carlos, into assassinating him as a
traitor. From its stunning, slow-motion bomb attack to the gripping final raid on the
terrorist's lair, The Assignment is first class entertainment from beginning
to end, and simply one of the most riveting espionage dramas yet made.
