Director Winner (1935-2013) earned more than his share of critical brickbats during his career thanks primarily to his having directed the controversial DEATH WISH (and two sequels) with Charles Bronson, but his movies have aged well, are entertaining now as excellent time capsules of the 1970s, and a fun watch thanks to his use of big name stars.SCORPIO stars Burt Lancaster as Noah Cross, an aging CIA operative who wants out before discovering that the agency wants him dead ("I want Cross burned" says his boss). They hire French assassin Alain Delon, "Scorpio", to handle the job, even though Lancaster's character trained him. While on the run, Cross hides out in Vienna where his old Soviet adversary Zharkov (Paul Scofield) provides him with sanctuary. What follows is a cat and mouse game between hunter and the hunted. When Cross' wife is killed before he can get her out of America, he returns to the U.S. to get revenge.One aspect contributing to Michael Winner's movies' entertainment factor is he always shot on location which in this case is Washington D.C., (he actually got to shoot inside CIA headquarters), Paris, and Vienna. Winner was also able to muster good performances from his actors and SCORPIO reunites Lancaster with his THE TRAIN co-star Paul Scofield (A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS). Their scenes together in the Viennese safe house are a joy to behold. Delon is solid along with John Colicos and J.D. Cannon as the CIA head honchos, while Joanne Linville is touchingly effective as Burt's wife.Lancaster was 60 years old when he made this movie and was still capable of performing his own stunts. A contemporary reviewer stated it made him feel young again to see Burt effectively leaving his pursuers in the dust. SCORPIO was released at the same time Watergate was making headlines, thus its cynical take on espionage is especially appropriate. The movie did OK at the box office but wasn't a big success. Over the years SCORPIO has grown in stature becoming one of those movies that can be seen more than once while keeping your interest thanks to a great script and noteworthy performances. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Michael Winner spy film that best defines what a double agent actually is! *by A***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2022* Good quality acting, direction, and location shooting. Many spy films elude to double agents being involved in or responsible for the plot of the action that takes place in the films, but not many films have their lead characters playing the actual double agents. This one does. Likewise, the agency heads of spy networks in most films end up living and continuing to operate, or are arrested. In Scorpio, the CIA operations figurehead, played by John Colicos, is assassinated by Cross (Burt Lancaster), who is the double-agent character that the CIA is after. I like how Winner has the audience believing all the way through the film that Cross is the good guy, only to find out at the very end of the movie that he is, in fact, a double agent. And the cherry on top of the sundae is that Lancaster has been using a Czech courier who just happens to be the girlfriend of Scorpio, the hitman (Alain Delon) trained by Cross now employed by the CIA to hunt down Cross and kill him. It's an amazing screenplay David W. Rintels and Gerald Wilson with excellent direction by Michael Winner. The movie has good star power and a great supporting cast. I love the J.D. Cannon voice-overs too. Jerry Fielding's score is good and is reminiscent of another film by Michael Winner and scored by Fielding, "The Mechanic," probably one of my most favorite movies of all time. This movie is definitely one to have in your collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Complex spy script with a French Connection sensibility *by R***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 17, 2020* Up there with The Spy Who Came in From the Cold — but with phenomenal action scenes reminiscent of the French Connection. Michael Winners best work along with the Mechanic. The movie has an intricately constructed script of cynical late Cold War era spy games — at the center of which we find Lancaster’s character running. The film places the agent-on-the-run in an impossible-to-survive kind of man hunt. The brilliance of the movie is creating masterfully filmed sequences that plausibly present how this master spy is able to overcome his hunters. We go from a greyhound bus station to Vienna, Paris, and finally Langley Virginia. Simultaneously, the film does a great job by introducing characters and scenes that say something about innocence lost on both sides of the spy game. On the eastern side, communist ideals were destroyed by mock trials, camps that subjugated dissidents. On the western side, GIs who freed survivors from concentration camps had become CIA executives ordering cynical assassinations. The final leg of the movie is pretty mind-bending. Lancaster returning home to avenge killing of a loved one, and many other unexpected revelations, outcomes follow. The masterful execution of such a multitude of ideas and actions make me think had Winner gone on to make a respectable name for himself in Hollywood, People would be talking about Scorpio like they talk about Spy Who Came in from the Cold. For my money, this is the second best spy movie ever made. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/7085165-scorpio](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/7085165-scorpio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
