This could have easily be a big + spy story. One of those stories that survive the times because the writers dig behind the veils of historic facts, and make essential values of human existance see the light of day.
That value here is that one human can break through the simplicfied truths of time-bound consciousness, the illusions of wrong and right, dares to think his own moral mind and make a decision that serves humanity on a deeper level of evolution.
It shows as a premise that is strongly tied to the story but not convincingly develloped.
What is left is a skilled and entertaining movie, not a timeless one.
