    Great film, a little confusing at times but suspenseful full all the way through. Kubrick was a big fan and suggested Medem direct The Mask of Zorro. I'm glad he didn't!

    Not a convincing film. The basic story is lifted from other, better films (such as Overboard). The director confuses the line between lies and truth. The characters come across as being morally weak.
