User Reviews

Great actioner to look for on cable

An excellent, enjoyable yarn. Very differet from the typically usual telefilm. If I'm not mistaken, I heard that this was one of the highest-rated programs on cable and by watching this, I should know why. I wouldn't mind seeing Mariel Hemingway's secret service agent character in another adventure.
