The Fourth Protocol with Micheal Caine and Pierce Brosnan

The Fourth Protocol with Michael Caine and Pierce Brosnan. Good, old spy thriller from the 80s. Perfect for nostalgia.

Fun, fun, fun. I had a lot of fun watching this movie. It is an old-fashioned, realistic spy-thriller. It is from 1987 so it is perfect if you like getting nostalgic at least once in a while. It is also fun to find a younger Caine and a much younger Brosnan.

Michael Caine plays John Preston. Preston is from British Intelligence, a smart guy who pisses the hell out if his superior and finds himself reassigned to a boring department: Ports. But he soon realizes that this assignment won’t be tedious at all- someone is smuggling various bomb parts into the country and it is not just any bomb…

Pierce Brosnan plays Valerie Petrofsky, a valuable KGB asset assigned to a very dangerous mission.

As the movie progresses, we realize that Valerie is not shy when it comes to following orders, even when it means killing people – Russian or not.

Preston will have to contact with his superior’s superiors and try to solve the catch Petrofsky as fast as he can. After all, the bomb being assembled is an atomic bomb…

Good political thriller. The only thing that bugged me about the movie is that sometimes the exaggerated music gets in the way. The music is loud and what is presumably supposed to be ominous ends up being irritated. Maybe it is an 80s thing – where everything was big and exaggerated. But it kind of kills the buzz when every possible twist and turn is announced so loudly. Still, it is a good time, watching Caine and Brosnan. It was even more entertaining to see the previous James Bond play a bad guy. His character is cool, cold-blooded and mysterious. He is more into action than talking and this sets the mood just right.

Strongly recommend for:

- Pierce and Caine fans (I am fans of both)

- Fans of political/spy thrillers

- Ones who do like to get retro when it comes to movies

Favorite Scene:

- Love how Michael Caine catches up with the train.
