Based on John le Carré's best-selling novel, the movie stars Diane Keaton, 38, as Charlie, an impressionable English actress who is recruited by Israeli intelligence for a double-agent mission against Palestinian terrorists. Keaton trained with a bazooka and a Soviet-made assault rifle for one of her most dramatic scenes. Says Keaton: "I never did anything like that before. But I loved it."

They are always doing things like catching bazooka shells in their bare hands and blowing tanks out of their path with about as much breath power as an ordinary mortal uses to douse a candle. The final confrontation with Superman is a barroom brawl on a delightfully gigantic scale. Instead of heaving furniture at one another, they toss a bus back and forth. And when one of the combatants gets thrown, the trajectory is measured in city blocks. In short, there...
