A mini-series
on DVD
totaling
172
minutes
needs
to be
quite
entertaining
to have
a viewer
sit
through
it all
in one
go.
I didn't.
The
producers
tried
to pump
up the
excitement
with
this
assassination
conspiracy
tale
having
a secret
government
operative
on the
run,
accused
of killing
the
president.
With
a bit
too
much
borrowed
from
The
Bourne
Identity
mold
(complete
with
amnesia
and
the
awareness
of highly
trained
skills
in critical
situations),
our
hero
has
to uncover
the
truth
with
very
little
help,
and
the
hourglass
running
empty.
Had
one
caught
this
on TV
the
action
and
suspense
would've
been
accepted
far
more
readily
in several
parts.
But,
Dorff
manages
to get
pretty
close
to the
template
set
by Matt
Damon
in the
Bourne
movies.
PS.
Almost
as expected,
Kilmer
makes
more
of a
supporting
visit
to the
cast.
