Reasonable TV Movie

I watched this as I had seen the original British 4 part series a few years back. This version wasn't bad but was not in the same league as the series which starred Timothy Dalton as Eddie Myers leading a very good cast.

Le Plante is a good writer and her stuff is better in either a long movie version or spread over several episodes. This movie for TV version wasn't so good because the story needed longer to tell and cutting down on time and detail just made it look as though it was cheaply made.

If you compare it to the 1992 4 hour series it shows just how mediocre it is. Nothing wrong with the acting, just that a good story was badly diluted.

Nicely Done; Surprisingly Good

I saw the ads for this on TNT and was impressed by the stable of actors involved. Sam Neill, excellent in everything I've seen him in, (including "Omen IV"--that's saying something); Rob Lowe, an actor who until recently hasn't secured the challenging roles his ability demands; and Alicia Coppola, an actress whose looks and abilities deserve more air-time.

The surprise aspect: A very good story. Nice twists, and a sense of humor and style (rare for TV movies, generally speaking).

Sympathetic characters (a depth to them) with shades of gray. They make mistakes and deal with them, but in the end maintain their integrity.

All in all, worth the time spent watching. Satisfying and entertaining. In the end, that's everything a movie should aspire to be.

Fun movie to watch

This is one of the best 'made for TV' movies I've seen in a while. The plot-twists were very well done, and the characters were filled in nicely by the actors. Sam Neill did an excellent job of portraying the 'likable crook', and even my mom, who is not a fan of Rob Lowe, agrees that he did a great job as well.

An entertaining film for a rainy day.

An entertaining film for a rainy day.

The plot is successful without being especially high budget and is carried by a few good scenes.However, the lead actor is noticeably wooden in his approach to the good cop position. The overall plot has a bundle of twists and turns but unfortunately still leaves an uneasy feeling about both characters morals towards the ending.

I can't tell if my expectations were too high or the overall feeling afterwards was especially low but this film wasn't as good watching it for the second time. If it's on TV it's probably worth a look otherwise don't go out of your way to see it.

A suprisingly good movie.

After watching the commercials for this movie, I decided to watch it. To my surprise, I happened to enjoy it. Rob Lowe and Sam Neill connect, and this is much more than a good guy bad guy flick. The plot is very well done, and there's even some twists. They get along with each other at times, and even team up. I especially liked Sam Neill's character, because he's smooth and calm.
