Sidney Poitier, now 89, is one of those actors who is great to watch just thinking. Here he's matched by the vibrant and ironically so full of life River Phoenix, whose every blink is totally believable. With Richard Jenkins, Caroline Kava, Richard Bradford (good as Russian agent who's seen it all before), Richard Lynch and Loretta Devine.
John Hill and Bo Goldman's screenplay of Tom Musca and Terry Schwarz's story is reasonably involving and it's lit by subtle maestro Laszlo Kovacs. Marvin Hamlisch's Bondy score isn't bad either.
