Reviews
" Agent - comedy with two veteran stars, the lack of convincing gags and rhythm. "
"As in really good Bond films of the 70s and 80s and tourist aspects in addition to the humor, are not too short. The journey leads to an historic railway across Scotland 's most beautiful castles. The movie is real joy. "
" Loose dual role comedy with Michael Caine and Roger Moore. Made it very entertaining. "
"Funny, almost nostalgic caper comedy from director Michael Winner professional [ ... ] that relies entirely on the presence of its relaxed aufspielenden veterans Roger Moore [ ... ] and Michael Caine [ ... ]. Peppered with running gags and verbal silliness ensues a carefully staged spy story, as it was currently in the 70s. This one is reminded not least because of the involvement of Roger Moore to various Bond films. Especially the lack of high-tech action is the film win that audience, the things get too hard and loud in the most action comedies. "
