- The supposedly elite assassins run awkwardly and look insufficiently formidable.
- The limousine sex scene has corny music and unclear positioning.
- The long-term embedded Russian-spy model feels dated relative to modern technological espionage, although Russian spying itself remains active.
- Howard Duff is underused in a role lasting roughly a scene and a half.
- Young’s reported account of Donaldson requiring her to expose herself at an audition is condemned.
- The extended overseas rescue and Manila detour seems excessive for its narrative purpose, despite a defense of establishing Tom’s hero status.
- The phantom-submarine subplot receives too little explanation for its importance.
- Costner listing Russian authors is proposed as a weakness, with an immediate objection.
- Scott participates in an outdated stereotype of the hysterical queer villain, even though the performance remains entertaining.
- The supposedly sexy film has awkward haircuts for Susan, Tom, Scott and party guests.
