Not exactly faithful to the book but the film certainly delivers as an enjoyable thriller.
Alec Baldwin is superb as Robicheaux, Lynch, Masterson and Hatcher are rather pretty and give the film what is needs but are mainly forgotten about as the film progresses. Roberts shows that he does have a great deal of talent to offer when it comes to a juicy part like this.
The film isn't brimming with action thankfully but it has a number of lengthy and exciting action sequences.
It seems to me that Baldwin is becoming something of the thinking mans action hero. Whilst Willis is off doing the brainless actioners Baldwin manages to get the intelligent movie. This is a fine example as is The Edge.
Baldwin makes this movie stunningly enjoyable and the supporting actors help a little but Baldwin manages to carry the whole thing single handedly.

Okay, this short lived TV show was a series of 6 action packed episodes. The first episode had nothing to do with the following five. This first episode also happened to be terrible.
Following this came the continual 'Box' story line. The episodes varied from in-your-face action to out-and-out comedy with a bucket load of plot twists thrown in, along with a few red herrings.
Chris Tait and Donal Stevenson are fantastic in the leads, Gareth Myles and Tom Cully offer great support. Other characters are layed to waste as the episodes fly by.
Worth a look mainly for some very daring stunt work by Tait and Myles.

So many of the conclusions drawn from the events could have been taken completely the wrong way. This film plays beautifully and respectfully lifts its hat to those who fled the trenches.
Potter makes a wonderful lead however the film is stolen by power house performances from Myles and Logan. Cut down a great deal and focusing only on Potter's reaction to the news that her husband has been shot was a great idea, as Myles' appearence is ghostly and cold. The lack of dialogue is also a great benefit and the fantastic score makes it so much more atmospheric.
Watch out for this, it is classic television.
