Damascus Cover (15)

★★★✩✩

 

Double identities, competing political interests and the odd former Nazi feature in this plodding, paint-by-numbers spy thriller by writer-director, Daniel Zelik Berk. Adapted from Howard Kaplan’s 1977 novel of the same name, the film has shifted its setting to 1989, shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall.
