Ironically during all this malarky, a huge anti-nuclear demonstra- tion is being carried on in the midst of the action when Preston finally tracks down the Russian to his secret air force base. I'm sure Forsyth's racy novel was likely written for the thriller select. John Mackenzie's direction is credible, nothing fancy. The trouble is, Fourth Protocol has more plot threads than all the mundo-bouts in England, with none clearly connected. The viewer inevitably loses the meat of the story. Though Brosnan, and Caine are effective as chilling adversaries, Fourth Protocol's ludricrous last frame makes the whole movie a grandiose exercise in celluloid futility. to 'ports and air ports' for continual insubordination on the job. Of course he takes risks and does each job his way. This distresses Smith who will soon be the Big Man at British Intelligence. To him Preston is an infernal threat. So Preston proceeds with the assignment and takes his orders from Nigel Irwin (Ian Richardson), and racks his brain to find the Soviet agent who just happens to be assembling an atomic bomb. Ho hum. Though Fourth Protocol is decidedly British in appearance with the EMS and Saabs careening around every bend, it boasts a variety of most odd cameos. Look for Ned Beatty (Network, Superman) as a Russian leader, Matt "Max Headroom" Frewer as James Ross' nosy redneck Yahoo neighbor, and Joanna Cassidy (her talents wasted) playing an ill-fated Finnish demolitions dupe. To add to the fun, Pieston's in thick with his superior Harcourt Smith (noted_ British gharacter aftorAulia? Glgver) and is suspended Meanwhile, the Russians are worried about the stability of the Fourth Protocol which is "about to be broken through a deadly game of seduction, conspiracy, and sabotage." Generals Karpov (Ray McNally) and Gavorshin (Alan North) are so secure in their posts that they watch each other like hawks, though they are best comrades. Gavorshin sends Russian bloodmonger Valeri Petrovski alias James Ross (alias Pierce Brosan) to England on the mission of the utmost importance. Preston and Ross become prime pawns in this incredulous chess game between the two powers. Sadly the) plot structure is anarchistic,dose to the absurdity" of No Way Out, another international mind-maze based on political greed. In the Fourth Protocol it's a complex cat and mouse game between the Brits and the Russians, the Brits and the Brits, and the Russians and the Russians. Do you follow? British intelligence discovers a security leak to the Russians through the South African embassy and one idealistic clod who thinks he is helping his country. The Brits, rather than carve this minion in jail after the big birys have worked him over, use him as a decoy to gain further info, this time working for the right side. The British naturally. As spy dramas go, Fourth Protocol bears the stamp of British telfvi§iori gerns The Prisoner, Tht Saint, or even The Sweeney. It's too bad. Fourth Protocol has all the ingredients of the esteemed "English thriller style," finesse, and the talents of Michael Caine (Hannah and Her Sisters, Mona Lisa). Caine, who is currently the busiest man in the screen business, playing in both bombs and box office favorites. is soon to be seen in yet another fall release with Sally Field plying his capable wares in the forte of romantic comedy. That's the reason he won an Oscar for Hannah and Her Sisters. Fourth Protocol spotlights Caine's sophistication as rebellious British Secret Service man John Preston, not unlike his casual borderline, clinical sexy facade in '60's spy classic The lpcress File. Preston is rather Bondish in spy vs. spy manoeuvres. executing top secret orders with deadly accuracy, an expert at any dangerous fray. Cord Andrm Chronicle Special It's infuriating when a film buff spends five dollars, only to tind himself exasperated rather than entertained when the credits roll. Be warned! Fourth Protocol, now at Cineplex, is that kind of mind trip. So if you don‘t like to be royally puzzled. stay away from this one Sherlocks.
