Great film, techincally one the best I've ever seen. Can't quite fathom how anyone could consider it boring/dull. Its totally absorbing, Caine is brilliant as the radical with his Citroen CX (why did the production designer feel the need to disguise it? An old big Cit is exactly the kind of car his character would be driving). Even Julianne Moore is perfectly fine and I usually get annoyed when Americans are parachuted into British films!
