Credits

Rated: R; Genre: Suspense; With: Scott Glenn and Theresa Russell

THE SPY WITHIN Scott Glenn, Theresa Russell (1995, New Horizons, R, priced for rental) Russell is a sexy spy on the run from her ruthless boss. Glenn is a burnt-out demolitions expert with a tragic past. They bond while thrashing their way through the requisite erotic-thriller one-night stand. Then it's back on their feet for a desperate flight from killer spies. As long as the pair keep moving, the action stays pretty crisp. But whenever they stop to fill in plot details or, worse still, try to explore their characters, the movie stumbles and falls. Directed by actor Steve Railsback (The Stunt Man), who ought to think about remaining in front of the camera. C
