Review – The Osterman Weekend

For an espionage picture with a fair amount of action in it, this sure is a boring movie. A journalist (Rutger Hauer) is recruited by the CIA to set up a trio of his old pals (played by various late-70s-early-80s semi-luminaries) who may be connected to a Soviet conspiracy. Though some of the gunfights are vaguely entertaining, most of the movie is devoted to petty intrigue with often-implausible twists and turns. Mildly amusing
