If only...

Richard Bradford was an incredible actor and he deserved a much more prolific career than the one he ended up with. His TV series 'Man in a Suitcase' continues to collect new fans every time it gets a repeat airing, or from those who are buying the DVDS for the first time. If he had continued to play the lead in the 'UMC' TV series it would have been shown over here in the UK as he had, and continues to have, a loyal fan base this side of the pond. He was definite heart-throb material and its our loss that his role in this movie was the only 'leading man' one he had after 'Suitcase'. That said, this is a pretty good film for one of its genre. Solid support from co-stars and a nice music score just for good measure!
