What lets the movie down, surprisingly enough, is its David Mamet script which promises high tension and emotional confrontation bolted to quality action.
01/01/00
It takes more than a few lines of clever dialogue, a hero who reads books, and an actor with British training and lots of dignity to keep a movie from going pretty much by the book.

Unsuccessfully mixes melodrama with action/adventure and satire.

I laughed frequently, but the problem is that I'm not sure the director intended there to be as much humor in his film as I uncovered.

Top CriticA few scattered profanities, a couple of gory accidents and a subplot about suspected adultery are all that separates this story from the grade-school classic "My Side of the Mountain."

But it's too predictable by half, and Mamet's profundities have more volume than mass.

Top CriticMamet's somewhat original script almost succeeds in breathing new life into the genre ... before making a fatal miscalculation in plotting toward the end.
