Eye of the Needle Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ An OK spy flick, but dreary and depressing This is a faithful reproduction of the La Follette novel by the same name. The novel was not one of the author's best, nor is this film any better. I had two criticisms of this film. The most important is the simple fact that this is a dreary and depressing film. The tragedy at the beginning [*very minor spoiler*] when David loses his legs casts a pall over the entire story. The subsequent events are not uplifting, and the ending was fairly predictable. Overall, not the kind of film I would watch twice. The other thing I did not like about this film was Donald Sutherland. His accent simply did not cut the mustard. It was cloying and inauthentic. I cringed almost every time he spoke. Oddly, when he spoke German the few times in the film, he sounded quite authentic. Overall a watchable film, but not an uplifting or memorable one.   1     2     3   Non User
