Taking a diehard revolutionary who wants to leverage the memorial of the october revolution to carry the project forward instead of into regressive trends, and changing it into an embittered baltic state soviet who decides to defect with his entire submarine and crew unknowing except a cohort of specially picked boat officers. Thats like re-writing "the island of dr moreau" into "Dr Dolittle".
If Tom Clancy wasn't on the payroll of a US state agency, he should have been.
I loved the film. Sam Neil writes hilariously about the filming. But if you loved the film and "bought the book" you'd be in for a serious disappointment if you didn't buy Tom Clancy.
My favorite movie of his would be 2004 Spartan followed by 1996 The Island of Dr. Moreau.
