I was on the edge of my seat

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2002)

I read the book in my teens and loved the first film with Richard Chamberlain. He was much older and the character in the book (if I remember correctly) was not as active as the new version. The fight scenes in the new film are brilliant and altho there is some mindless violence to fulfill the testosterone bulging viewers its not over the top. I loved the obligatory car chase even better for it being in a Mini! I love it when Americans make films in Europe cos I can play 'Spot the well known European actor'. I'd give it a 9/10 for an action film, same old themes rehashed but exceptionally well done this time.
