The film was shot on location in Russia.[5]
The soundtrack was composed by Dan Slider,[6] and as the Los Angeles Times reports, "Whoever got the job would have to conduct the 70-piece Kirov Ballet Orchestra, and director Greydon Clark needed to be convinced that Slider wouldn't choke."[7]
Although Clark claims that various spectators found the film "Hitchcockian",[5] the German website TV Today commented" "Another "crime film the world doesn't need." The original locations where the film was shot also don't provide enough of a kick to keep you captivated in the long run.",[8] while Leonard Maltin wrote, " One-note thriller (that) is barely entertaining, despite its use of authentic locations."[9]
The film was described as being "a daft espionnage trhriller"[10] and having a "routine story".[11]
