very reminiscent of "The prisoner" tv. show

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 1998)

The film reminded me of the T.V. serial, "The Prisoner" which starred Patrick McGoohan many years ago. The subject matter is very topical as the media strives to create more and more realism with "Fly on the Wall" documentaries. I do not feel the premise of a person living in his own TV. show so extraordinary nowadays.Perhaps we should see this film as a warning about where the media may be taking us.The acting is excellent throughout and the revelations as they come certainly kept me glued to the screen throughout. I thoroughly recommend this film.
