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.
