Bad miscasts, and depressing atmosphere dampen movie.

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2003)

(spoilers?)
Two rather stark points prevented me from giving it a full 10/10.
I was surprised by this movie. As little as it made in the box office, I didn't expect much. So it went above my expectations. But just to a point.
Makeup is good, pretty much everything is without complaint. Harrison Ford acts very good, but he was miscast. He's no russian. The actor playing the russian president in sum of all fears would have done a better job.
A good portion of the crew isn't Russian enough. Liam Neeson easily passes for one. But not Harrison.
The movie is also rather depressing. Not the type of movie to watch on a good day.

8/10
