Not a word was spoken . . .

It could have been a silent film. I guess they threw away all that crappy dialogue and got right to the action.

It was a note for note recreation of the story. I was doubtful about William Hurt as the assassin, but he played it older. And by gum, it worked. It probably had something to do with him being older.

It didn't add a lot to my enjoyment of the story itself. Once you know the kicker, it's pretty much a done deal and you wait for the story to end.
