Thought it was a well made film, which as others commented, stayed pretty close to the version in the book and the actual events. I noticed the same effect with people leaving at the end, makes them think about the individuals who put their lives on the line in order to maintain some semblance of society and freedom when anarchy reigns.

Of course the ultimate reaction by the Clinton administration, may well have played a signficant part of the events of today!

Well apart from Ridley Scott directing it, what did the Brits ever do in the movie business?

Errrr, how about Ewan McGregor playing one of the starring roles. And what about that Simon West (Executive Producer), all the way from Letchworth!

No wonder the British movie industry is in such poor shape - the can't get no respect! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
