Poor man's Bond at best

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2004)

After hearing so much praise about Hitchcock, i decided to give this film a try. Not impressed. I really have no idea how this film is in the top 20. If this film was released today, it would be an average action movie with every cliché in the book. Wisecracking male lead, sexy blonde in leading lady role, devious secretive villain, and climactic ending in which guy and gal barely escape, and fall in love. Where is the brilliance here? The fact that its 50 years old? Just because it was original then doesn't mean it was good. I didn't feel any glaring suspense in this one, and I give it a 5/10 Line# 10
