THIS MOVIE WAS VERY GOOD. THE ACTION STARTS RIGHT IN THE BEGINNIG OF THE MOVIE. FULL OF SUSPENSE

How trite now to feel crestfallen when comparing the film version to the paperback. The movie is an adaptation of the more suspenseful Robin Cook novel. The film's suspense did not seem to build up: in fact, the film fails to get off the ground. Acting was also so-so. In summary, the movie version does not even come close to Robin Cook's intent.
