Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

A sketchy, feeble thriller with Charles Bronson as a KGB agent assigned to thwart an accidentally activated Russian plot to blow up American military bases. Only Lee Remick, as Bronson's partner, manages to come across in an unusually rich but utterly wasted cast (Tyne Daly, Donald Pleasence, Sheree North). Apart from a certain energy evident in the cutting, you'd never know it was the work of Don Siegel, a generally excellent action director.
