I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Apparently Michael Caine and Roger Moore are good friends but never worked together so they teamed up in this 1990 film. Unfortunately they ended up with Michael Winner as the director.Winner who might had once been a decent director was on a downward spiral. He ultimately ended up better known as a food critic and car insurance adverts.Here the duo play dodgy nuclear physicists that have invented a form of nuclear fusion but plan to sell their formula to the highest bidder and make themselves rich and double cross their backers.However at the same time there are a couple of con men who look exactly the same as these nuclear scientists. They get hired to retrieve the formula by CIA and MI5 not before they and a former partner played by Sally Kirkland try to steal some diamonds.Somewhere along the line Moore's real life daughter pops up now and again. Moore disguises himself as a piano tuner as well as other disguises and there are some poor jokes and some funny ones.Its all a bit of a mish mash as if the actors were enjoying themselves too much but forgot about the audience. The critics slated this upon release, it failed at the box office. Its amusing enough and I liked some of the humour but then again I might be easily pleased. The humour might be absurd but it might make you chuckle.

Yes, this film has been put together really badly It also has some terrible editing (1967...(moore mouths eight! Look closely, you will see!) Make-up is bad Directing is amateurish However, the film did entertain me. Caine and Moore must cringe when they ever stumble on this! But the tackiness was what made it great. The film tries so hard to be American in parts and it does fall flat on its face, but if someone like Quentin Tarantino had done it, it would have tied your brain in knots...In summary, this is a film for simpletons everywhere. Give it a try, yes It will probably make you cringe, but in one way or another, it will make you smile...Rather like Portugal getting knocked out of world cup. This film is Marmite...You either love it or hate it

I think I laughed once at this film, watched it when I was ten or eleven, because it has a scene where one dog humps another.Other than that, I'd rather stab my eyes out with a biro than be forced to sit through it again. Go watch Monty Python instead, hell, even Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is better than this.

Oh dear. I'm a big fan of Mr Caine and Mr Moore, and to be honest those two in the lead roles are the only reason to watch the film. Anyone lesser would have made it an utter waste of time. The film is hackneyed with an incomprehensible plot. Films based on 'doubles' are always dodgy, so much so that even in the 30s it was considered bad plotting to use them in detective stories. At some points in the film I just didn't know who was meant to be whom, and by the time of the second 'double cross' I just lost interest. While Caine and Moore were at times hilarious ('I come from a broken home...')a lot of the jokes and effects made me cringe. The scene where the train porter gets his head blown off had me rewinding to see if my eyes had not deceived me. That has to be the worst special effect for many years! I also found the very obvious pitching of the film to the American audience patronising in the extreme. Tourist shots of London, Highland Games, stately homes, stuffy clubs, 'punk' taxi drivers and an unconvincing portrayal of the Queen - all this type of thing was being done far better and with greater irony by the Comic Strip team years before. So don't expect a great plot or gags but if you like Caine and Moore, it's worth watching - just.
