Reviews (1)
This story is good in itself and will remain good even if you read about it on Wikipedia and not when you watch the movie. Unfortunately, in this case, everything missed the mark, except for Anthony Hopkins, who once again manages to turn a few minutes of his presence into something that will impress you. This is the man, the actor. Unfortunately, the film as a whole did not turn out well, it is not suspenseful and not well-structured.
