Interesting film, but not original

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2006)

I rented the movie and was shocked to discover that it's almost a scene for scene remake of a movie titled "Sword of Gideon." I was expecting something unique from Spielberg. The only thing that was uniquely different was the use of what appeared to be actual news footage and sound from the ABC broadcast of the Olympics at the time. When I said that it is an almost scene for scene remake, dialog, shot sequence, and framing of many scenes were identical. Rent "Sword of Gideon" first, and then see if you agree. I'm also not sure that the sexuality and nudity was necessary to further the plot. I would have enjoyed more of the planning of the assassinations with greater attention to detail.
