This movie is in the Rambo genre - but unlike the Rambo movie it somehow does not work.

It comes off very trite - so he uses a MacGyver trick at one point. Where he fixes electronics mainly by hitting them hard, lifting them high and saying in an intense voice "come on".

He kills the bad guy with a sword - in such a boring scene that this is where you are just about to turn off a give up.

There is no 80´s quatable -

"Don't push it, or I'll give you a war you won't believe." "They drew first blood, not me." "To survive a war, you gotta become war." "Murdock... I'm coming to get you!"

Ask people if they remember a sentence from the movie --

There is no really good laughs - at all.

The bad guys are without real personality - do you remember the bad guys from Rambo.

So it pretty far from historically correct - in reallity no one is killed - and only one shot is fired - during the whole operation.

Oh yes - and there is no female sharp shotting secret agent involved in the operation.

I'm left with a filling of - my god this could have been a great movie.

"Apart from a few bruised and battered Italian captives, the raiders had not caused a single casualty-just as M had called for. The only shot fired by them had been a negligent discharge-a revolver fired accidentally-and no one had been harmed."

Damien Lewis. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - How Churchill's Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops (2015)

Nowhere near as good as the movie.

I have first watched the Three Days of the Condor Sydney Pollack movie with Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway. I have since read the book - by James Grady Six Days of the Condor'.

This TV-series has basically no connection to the book, and mostly steals a few quotes from the movie.

Is the TV-series worth watching? It's not bad - it's just nowhere near as good as the movie. And it does feel strange when they rip off lines from the original movie - it feels somehow stolen by an amateur.

So I think that for fans for the original movie, and for fans for the book - it just it's going to work.
