Title: Yikes
Product review: Despite being a compatriot of the leading actor, even patriotism cannot convince me to donate more than one star to this effort (such as it is). Anyone who read the book must have been acutely aware of the great film potential and I can imagine that Robert Harris must be kicking himself because he allowed this version ever to be made - SO much more could have been done with this story, if for instance they stuck to the original plot. The story was grossly over-simplified for public consumption and the result is a film that fails to create even the least interest, no small feat given the exciting premise.
