i be a big fan of retro movie . so when i start watch this and know that brando be play and that it an espionage movie include ww2 element i be pretty excited . unfortunately it be a big waste of time . the plot be so complex that you simply can not follow it . many name in the script and subplots under the main plot and at the end . you really wonder what the happened . i mean there a key issue in the movie and synthetic oil and but besides that and you really can not figure out who work for who and what go on . scott be a great actor and i also like brando performance ( he play for 10 minute or so in this 2 hour movie ) but that simply not enough . the main problem with this movie be the script and the way the director use it . you simply do not have the time to figure out what be go on in each scene . there a scene at the end where almost all the name be reference but instead of make thing clear and hell break loose . if you like a good movie and choose something else .
