A good genre film in the ice cold vein of The Maltese Falcon. It isn't nearly as rich nor fine as that early Huston classic but tells an interesting story with a sure sense of atmosphere, location and supporting characters.

There's a whole lot of nothing going on here.

Reasonably entertaining old-fashioned thriller.

…while The Mackintosh Man is never the game-changer the pedigree might promise, it’s an adequate time-passer in the anti-espionage genre…
