Misleading title
First 2 eps were a solid 8.5 but then it nose-dives to a soft 6.
My first complaint is the title would suggest it is a movie adaptation of Frederick Forsyth's brilliant novel but it bears zero resemblance to that story. It's like making an adaptation of Moby Dick but without the whales.
The reason I save it nose-dives is the storyline just get's sillier and sillier. A "crack" squad finds him and are in within 50 metres, shoot off around 80 shots and nobody can get a direct hit. I hope I nevere need rescuing by these guys.
Horses outrunning v8 police vehicles? Really. I mean really?
But my main complaint is what I call Netflix disease. The awful padding of scenes to stretch it out to 6 eps... yeah we get it, shots of looking in room after room with no result fills the time out but add nothing to the story or character devolpment. This should have been a 4 part series or a 3 hour movie.
