Windsor Protocol

Even though this was made for TV, it still could have been directed with more enthusiasm for the actors used. The script and the direction looks and acts more like a high school senior play. There is no chemistry between Dillon and Lenny, although it appears as though the screen writer worked to provide it. Kyle does not have the darkness that the Sean character seems to need, and Lenny is not believable as the "brainy" kid. There are so many parts of this movie that did not work. It appears to have been written by someone that cut and pasted clichéd "cloak and dagger" subplots from other movies. Each scene is poorly directed, from the first meeting of Sean and Lenny, to the meeting between Sean and Altina Morales. None of the characters give you any reason to become interested in what happens to them. I guess the bottom line is that Kyle does not add any strength to this film. (not to mention having to do some stupid things--like follow the bad guy in daylight on an empty quiet neighborhood street in his black leather jacket which made him stand out like a sore thumb)

I felt the plot seemed interesting (although preposterous): the film seemed to have a good cast (although I admit not having heard of Macha Grenon before!), but the acting seemed disappointing, somewhat leaden, giving the general result of the film being a bit of a let-down for one's money!

The film is very good and I enjoyed it a lot, It has very good acting in it and the storyline/plot is very good. It is based on the book "Thunderpoint" by Jack Higgins. Kyle MacLachlan plays the lead role and he is a very underrated actor and I enjoy his films very much, including this one. I give the film 10/10 because I was entertained throughout the full film and It was a great!! I recommend it.

Not the best book-to-TV production, but not the worst. My biggest beef is with casting-I don't have a beef with Kyle MacLachlin, but Sean Dillon (per Higgins' books) is not over 5'4", has sandy hair, and most importantly, AN IRISH ACCENT! Kyle has none of these, making this appear lower budget than it was.

The sequel to Jack Higgins' "Thunder Point", hits the ground with a narrative to introduce us to the "Windsor Protocol"; it is the last-minute Nazi plot to revive the Third Reich or set up a fourth. Mostly it is billions of dollars in unmarked accounts. The plot may hit home in strange ways. We are introduced to several characters and are forced to learn of their backgrounds slowly through the movie. However, it is more natural than Agatha Christie introductions.

We start with an economics summit in Montréal between the haves. It is being protested by the have-nots. There is a hostage situation. Retired special agent Sean Dillon (Kyle MacLachlan) is forced to quell the situation. There he learns something that starts the whole story in motion.

We get introduce to what seems to be Sean's new side-kick Lenny (Lisa Bronwyn Moore); her weapons seem to be a towel, a computer, and an antiquated pistol, in that order. Lenny is enthusiastic and clumsy but is capable of pulling Sean's bacon out of the fire.

This is an action-packed movie with TV props and feel.

Kyle MacLachlan played Paul Usul Muad'Dib Atreides in "Dune" (1984). Lisa Bronwyn Moore, on the other hand, seems to be a sort of mystery with very few pictures and a skimpy biography.
