    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Okay, this has been largely critisised for not being true to the book. I have never read it so I can't comment but as a drama if you ignore the book, it was really good. Plenty of action with twists and turns in plot. Plenty of intrigue in post soviet era eastern europe and Russia. It also had a good line up of well known actors; the Patrick's Swayze and Bergin plus Joss Ackland. It may have been a TV movie but it's well worth a watch.

    would suit better as 2 (or 4) tv episodes? but when seen as one feature length film it failed to keep the attention. Reasonable story, not too much of a strain on the brain and (just) worth the watch

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    It’s part one of a two part story and it felt like it. Had a look on line, and I could not find a part two but to tell the truth I can’t say I am upset. I read a review that said it is a book…. Just left me confused.
