Customer Reviews of Eye of the Needle
A Le Carre' Quality Show Eye of the Needle is an ingenious complex work of a spy story and a romance all woven nicely together with the work of an excellent director and cast. Donald Sutherland is at his finest as he displays the cold-hearted, ruthless, cunning and intelligent German spy who will stop at nothing to deliver critial information to the Fuhrer. Stranded on a remote island off the coast of England while on his way to deliver the message, The Needle, (Sutherlan's code name)is caught in a web of romance between the local dissident Lucy and her ever crazed ex-RAF pilot husband. Eventually The Needle destroys Lucy's husband and tries to continue with his mission. But could a spark of passion for Lucy destroyed this spies killer instincts? Of course not. You must find out for yourself in this excellent portrait of war, romance and danger, In Eye of the Needle.
A PIERCING NEEDLE
Donald Sutherland has tended to be one of our finest actors, overlooked and dismissed by many critics. Sure, he's done some floppers (e.g. Virus), but in this movie he shows why he's such a riveting performer. He plays the Needle, a cold, psychotic killer, who is a German spy and holds the key to knowledge of the D-Day invasion. He ends up shipwrecked on a lonely island, inhabited only by a reclusive cripple and his devoted, if lonely, wife. Kate Nelligan (so good in "Dracula" with Frank Langella) is perfect as Lucy, the woman whose need for love leads to an affair with the Needle. Christopher Cazenove turns in a good performance as her husband, whose bitterness over his auto accident, has turned him into an uncaring, selfish man. Director Richard Marquand keeps the movie moving at a leisurely pace, but packs some powerful suspense scenes; the score by Miklos Roza is admirable, and the scenery is lush and beautiful. I havent' read Ken Follett's novel, but this is a great movie and hopefully did it justice.
