Reception In a contemporary review, the Monthly Film Bulletin stated that ″attractive locationsasare small compensation for the general stodginess of the latest cosmopolitan spy thriller. After a promising beginning, with the hero's car sandwiched between two huge lorries on a snow-bound country road, the plot resolves itself into the customary round of brawls and brawn.″
