I'm touched

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2002)

This can't decide if it wants to be 2001:A Space Odyssey or a James Bond film, which is a shame as it could have been very good indeed. As it is despite its melodramatics and Bond-like characters its sheer ambition totally grips you and pulls you along. Helped by a magnificent performance by Jodie Foster and some very powerful and moving final scenes, you can't help but be touched by the end. (8/10)
