Exciting-but not gripping, 8 November 2001
5/10
Author: martin_humble from Stockholm, Sweden

With only a minor flaws this movie is rather well-made, exciting and enjoyable. Richard Chamberlain plays the leading character well. Sad is that the movie doesn´t work all the way. Something is lacking. It is noticeable that the budget is quite low, but it all adds up to a good film. 5/10
