Great Movie, Better Book, 28 August 2001
Author: (quantcomm@aol.com) from New York, NY

I am a huge fan of the book, as I am with many such adaptations. I love the character of Marja and was thrilled to see Lesley Ann Warren playing her. I started to see all her films after seeing her in this as a kid. She is a great actress. When I saw Marc Singer in V I loved him, and after seeing this movie again was amazed to recognize him as Ross Drego. Although in my fantasies he would have been Mike instead. But the casting was good. Jack Weston was also cool as Joker Martin.

One thing I would like to ask of the readers here... If anybody has a copy of this film or knows where I can get one, or when it will be on tv so I can tape it, please email me. This is one of my all time faves and I would love to own a copy.
