Review of Firefox (1982) by Stephen M — 23 Dec 2007

Though he's too much of a craftsman to produce a complete turkey, Eastwood the director is never so dull as when he's tackling a spy movie. Stupidly, the film cannot decide whether to use the Russian language when Eastwood, supposedly fluent, is talking to enemy soldiers, or whether both parties should just speak English with the understanding that they're actually talking in Russian.

Not only is this confusing, it's ridiculous because we get Russian-accented soldiers, who are actively seeking a foreign agent, happily conversing in English with American-accented Eastwood; one gasps with incredulity at how they can't spot him.
