CGiii Comment
When spies and politicians are involved - there has to be a closet gay creep lurking somewhere...and, the obvious blackmail plot. No surprises here.
The biggest surprise is the script - the first 15 minutes is complete and utter JUNK.
The direction is bog standard with an imposing, vile, eardrum-damaging, soundtrack.
It takes 45 minutes before the story kicks in - however, the dialogue doesn't improve - making this a turgid affair of unaccomplished film-making.
Unacceptable.
And, a vile, sniveling gay character really doesn't help.

The(ir) Blurb...
Tom Farrell is a navy officer who gets posted at the Pentagon and is to report to the secretary of defense David Brice. He starts an affair with Susan Atwell not knowing that she is Brice's mistress. When Susan is found dead, Tom is assigned to the case of finding the killer who is believed to be a KGB mole! Tom could soon become a suspect when a Polaroid negative of him was found at Susan's place. He now has only a few hours to find the killer before the computer regenerates the photo.
