Incoherent and dull

Rating: 3/10 (8 January 2012)

I watched this the other night and still have no idea what happened.
The character development is pitiful, you feel nothing for any of them and i struggled to work out who was who all the way through the movie! I think they thought we would gasp once the spy was revealed, but by that point i had lost interest and was mighty confused by it all.
As spy stories go it was basically a game of Chinese whispers, with minimal action, no tense scenes, an incoherent plot. On the plus side the acting was good, but not enough to make me recommend this to anyone.
I presume you need to read the book, or at least have a brochure explaining what the heck is going on.
If you haven't read the book or watched the TV series from the seventies then don't bother with this.
A total waste of a fine cast.
