Thank goodness Gere isn't the Soviet…my eyes sped up in reading until I could relax knowing he wouldn't be attempting that accent. What a fucking bland sounding movie. Who needs it? Why bother?
This reminds me of that Tick episode with the seventies era Soviet robot that's still trying to kill Jimmy Carter.
Also fix the captcha.
I'm surprised David didn't go for a gerbil joke.
How much you wanna bet Gere is not only the CIA agent, but also the Soviet assassin!
it reminds me of a jackal.
