Spy Ink includes The Spy Fiction Hall of Fame
	Spies in the Movies - E, F The Eiger Sanction (1975) Clint Eastwood, George Kennedy, Vonetta McGee Directed by Clint Eastwood from the Trevanian novel The Eiger is a Swiss mountain peak, and if you wait long enough there is an exciting sequence involving climbers .... But there are a lot of lows along the way, thanks to the rambling story based on the best-selling novel by Trevanian. Eastwood plays a college art professor who also happens to be an assassin for a secret U.S. government agency known in the film as CII. Eastwood directs himself for the third time and he allegedly did his own mountain climbing as well. (Movies on TV) Enemy of the State (1998) Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Barry Pepper Directed by Tony Scott Tony Scott's political thriller aspires to the level of the great '70s cycle of conspiracy-paranoia pictures. A congressman is murdered by Thomas Brian Reynolds (Jon Voight), an ambitious National Security Agency official, in a public park. A nature photographer, Zavitz (Jason Lee) has filmed the incident. Zavitz accidentally bumps into old college friend Richard Clayton Dean (Will Smith), a young hotshot attorney, ,and slips him the evidence. When Gene Hackman shows up as Brill, a mysterious underground information broker with a chip on his shoulder, the whole picture brightens up with much needed tension. Pic doesn't manifest the collective fears generated by the classic paranoia movies for the very reason that the zeitgeist has changed. (Variety) The Fourth Protocol (1987) Michael Caine,  Pierce Brosnan, Joanna Cassidy Directed by John Mackenzie from the Frederick Forsyth novel A decidedly contempo thriller, a tale of vying master spies and a chase to head off a nuclear disaster. Novelist Frederick Forsyth, who also was an executive producer, adapted the pic from his book. Michael Caine as a maverick counterespionage expert gives a thorough performance in a part that doesn't really stretch his abilities. (Variety)
