ROBERT W.

I expected a lot, considering it's a Ludlum story. Boring. Badly acted. Worse production. We managed to get through a couple of episodes before we finally turned it off. We didn't care about any of the characters. Disappointing. If you like Ludlum, rerent the Bourne series.

The film was too complex and there were too many characters..it was hard to keep track of who or what was where..a lot of familiar faces and of course the very handsome and boyish Steven Collins..it's amazing as this film though quite long could have been much longer if there was more understanding of what was going on..manybe if one watches it again, it will become clearer..?? 3 stars for the attempt(I hadn't read the book so I'm not sure I would have understood it as well??)

It really wasn't terrible. It's unfair to compare this to Bourne. This TV miniseries was half WWII suspense (because viewers in the 70s still cared about WWII), and half about pretty boy Stephen Collins. It was fun to see all those actors from the 70s, and the Roddy McDowell character was really good. But some of the acting and scripting is pretty mediocre.
