So, 'Death at the Start' is this intriguing 1983 flick that dives deep into the world of Cold War espionage. You’ve got Igor Krymov, a Soviet inventor caught in a web of deceit, which really sets the tone for a tense atmosphere throughout. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to that disorienting feeling you’d expect from a spy thriller of the era. The practical effects are surprisingly good for its time, adding a gritty realism that pulls you in. The performances, while not always stellar, have this raw energy that reflects the paranoia of the period. It’s got a certain charm that makes it stand out in the sea of espionage films, you know?
