This was a great movie., 26 September 1999
Author: Dr. Alexandra Romanov (romanov@rosary.net) from Illinois

I hadn't intended to watch it, but from the beginning I was engrossed. It moved along at a rapid pace with no long gaps in action. I found the characters to be well defined and enchanting. I highly recommend viewing this movie.
