Negative Positive
Title: Subpar, hasty adaptation of a decent novel
Review: The Heat of Ramadan, Steven Hartov's first novel, deserved a better film adaptation than this low budget, poorly edited disappointment. The plot was very promising and you could sense the potential. Perhaps veteran action film director John Glen (The Wild Geese, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker) ran short of time, money, or talent.For a better film on international terrorism, try instead The Little Drummer Girl, directed by George Roy Hill in 1984 and based on the novel by John Le Carre.
