"This is a fun, underrated spy movie. Matthau plays a CIA agent who is being aged out and put out to pasture. Feeling disrespected, he concocts an elaborate ruse to make his former employers look like idiots. The film has the tone of a breezy con game movie and Matthau plays the character as more ornery than malicious. There’s nothing groundbreaking here. It’s just a well crafted, enjoyable movie.
4 out of 5 stars"
