Tries but fails, 6 July 2003
Author: m_a_coleman2000

have watched this movie over 10 times but I still do not get what is going on. I want to believe that the movie tried to follow the book but failed eithier due to budget cuts or crappy editing. I am guessing a combo. The performance of Danny is laughable, Hauer tries to be good, Rappaport excellent. To tell you the truth, Rappaport is the only reason I watched the film in the first place. His performance stands out from all others and was great. Anyway, If you are not a diehard fan of any of the actors, do not watch it. Not worth anyones time.
