Il protocollo Windsor

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.

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.

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!

This is not a very good movie at all. Some of the actors are familiar from TV and movies (Alan Thicke, Kyle McLaughlin), and they did the best with what they had I suppose. But what they had was absolute junk.

At no point while watching this did it have me interested. Even the basic premise of the movie, that a secret list of Nazis was released by Hitler at the end of WW2 or something, didn't make a lot of sense. The acting and direction seemed forced, and even the technical details didn't seem to work. A scene involving a press conference with the Vice President, for instance, didn't even seem to have enough reporters to make it seem credible. Suspension of disbelief was basically impossible throughout.

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.
