Audience write-ups from TMDB

I consider this to be among the worst espionage movies ever made. Anyone familiar with the original television series from the 1960s, starring Sir Roger Moore (who later achieved worldwide fame portraying another charming secret agent, James Bond), will recall it fondly.

I haven't read the original books, so I can’t comment on how faithful it is to those stories, but I was let down by seeing a Simon Templar who wasn't really…himself. I’ve never been particularly fond of Val Kilmer’s performances, and I don’t believe he’…
