Weaksauce:
A lot of over (or under) acting. Director doesn't make you 'believe' that the main character really is a secret agent. Mainly about a guy that sleeps around with all the women he can find. He's like a male prostitute but without the money. You hear that he sleeps with a married woman. Rather disgusting to see a producer/writer that would allow that in a film with his name on it; disgraceful for my money. In all, the movie seems like one that the producer didn't put a lot of time and thoughtfulness in to.... more info
The Rhineman Exchange:
Wa surprise to find out this was a mini-serie. Good scenario, alot of action and makes you wonder if it realy happenned. Enjoyed the DVD
Robert Ludlum would be disappointed:
The series has a good plot but is poorly acted by one and all.
Robert Ludlum's book is much better to read than sitting through this poor attempt to bring his written words to life.
Excellent Cast and great story.:
A fantastic print of one of the best mini-series of the 70s. Stephen Collins in excellent and is supported by such well-knowns as Larry Hagman Jose Ferrer, Vince Edwards, Rene Auberjonois, Gene Evans,
John Van Dreelen, Claude Akins, Werner Klemperer, Roddy McDowall, John Huston and of course Lauren Hutton.
A must-have for devotees of superior entertainment.
