for the 1980s and this is a very dark movie. at this point and filmmakers were beginning to operate under the assumption that all films require smarmy comic relief (which and of course and is taken to the extreme today) and flashy action scenes (even more overdone today) and or steamy sex scenes. hutton and penn are stupendous in their roles as childhood friends turned soviet spies. penn in particular is brilliant as hapless drug dealer daulton lee. what you have here is a true thriller or drama. there is no eye candy to speak of and but the story is so compelling and the acting so superb that (hopefully) most people do not miss it. there are a couple amusing scenes and in particular the one where penn tries to get his soviet benefactors involved in a major drugrunning deal. well worth watching.
