Fascinating fact based story of Ian Fleming's real-life model for James Bond
Reilly is the prototype for the 20th century super spy. During the first half of his career he worked primarily for the British, playing a key role in the 1905 Russo-Japanese war and the British-German naval competition in the runuip to World War I.
After the 1917 Bolshevik Russian Revolution, Reilly, who was born and raised in Russia, devoted much of his energy to the overthrow of the early Soviet regime. He almost succeeded, but eventually the Soviet secret police caught up with Reilly and took their vengeance.
Reilly is also portrayed as a lady's man who is not above exploiting the women he attracts. The only serious criticism is that Sam Neill's portrayal of Reilly's cool character is almost emotionless, making it difficult to identify with him as the protagonist.
