US thriller in which a Mossad spy falls in love while on an undercover mission.
Setting and performances aside, Damascus Cover is a forgettable spy thriller that bulldozes over its real-life relevance in favour of shoehorned romance and hackneyed characters. Less Mission: Impossible; more ‘Mission: Thrown Out The Window’.
John Hurt’s final screen role is a saving grace in this film, which otherwise lacks action or mystery.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
