Twisted and somehow realistic, 29 December 1999
9/10
Author: Eric Sayettat (sayettat@hotmail.com) from Paris, France

We all know about the living characters who inspired the plot but this movie adds a note of ambiance and gives a inside view of the cold war merciless hunt for deeply buried moles...

The actors, American, English and French are outstanding, the plot is larger than life. It seems now a piece of History but it reminds us that a lot was at stake not so long ago.

"Le Serpent" is probably one of the best spy movies ever made, it is certainly one of the best French ones.
