Here we go again, Hollywood ruins another story... and with such smug, self satisfied arrogance. This is as shabby and cringeworthy a piece of butchery of a simple plot as anyone could hope to achieve.
Why do these arrogant hollywood types buy the rights to a story and then change every character and the story itself? Damned good question.
Was it necessary for adaptation to screen? Not at all.
And was it successful? No, it was not.
Does this stop these dlckhead know-it-alls from doing it again in the future? Unfortunately not.
That's just Hollywood.
This is a hopeless, boring and unentertaining adaptation of a simple and engaging Alistair Maclean novel. The likeable characters in the novel are recast as . Thoroughly unlikeable, uninteresting one-dimensional posers in the film.
A maddeningly, frustratingly unentertaining tooth-grinding boor.
Thanks a lot Hollywood. You ruined it.
