I actually enjoyed this movie. It was a surprisingly sophisticated movie for its time. Giving 5 everyday people the power to destroy large areas of human life without destroying all other life and the environment was intriguing. And although making sure that the whole world knew who the five were was essential to the movie, for some reason I didn't quite expect it. The actions of each government was formula and the better dead than red rhetoric was infused throughout the whole movie. My complaint is probably one more of the times in that they could not help but inject an improbable love relationship between the British lady and the American man. Still well worth watching...
But I think it is time for a modern remake of it. With today's extreme special effects and a very Geo-politically different world it would be a winner.
