Theres a scene where two KGB agents appear and begin firing at Connie. I have never felt so engaged in a scene in my life.

This is a satisfactory TV mini-series about spies, which has a very unusual plot. It lasts for 240 minutes.

In Hungary it was aired on TV in the 90'sThe Brotherhood of the Rose tells the story of Saul and Chris, two orphans from Philadelphia. They are adopted by a man named Elliot, who treats the boys like his own children and raises them to become assassins, but when a mission goes wrong for Saul, and Chris is involved in an international incident, they begin to question their lives and their missions, and start to see Eliot in a new light.

For those of you who are conspiracy theorists you will look far and not succeed to find a film that will buttress your belief that the whole world and its populace is manipulated by a very few people. In a short prelude to the main film, the top intelligence agents from the world's great powers before World War II gather and make a pact to create a sanctuary for the intelligence community.

Let's open this with a quote: "It was true to the novel and turned out very well, I think. I keep looking for it on cable TV, but it never seems to show up.

The original airing of this movie (on TV) was outstanding! However, when it was put into VHS, it was chopped up pretty bad and now there is quite a lot of good footage missing.

This is a intriguing spy movie, mainly because it doesn't follow the formula of most other spy-films.This is not another one of those films where the goody spies on the baddie, the baddie captures the goody, reveals his devious plans to annihilate the world, the goody escapes, kills the baddie and saves the girl.

This was a great book and turned into a surprisingly good movie, even for television. It was written by David Morrell, who also wrote First Blood, in case you didn't know.

Surely, the subject of both book/movie is an unusual one. I've seen the movie after only 6 month from the release on the market.
