This is the kind of frantic, convoluted thriller that is usually the vehicle for actors like Richard Gere, Harrison Ford or Liam Neeson. Yjay it hasn't been remade yet is a surprise given that it is a pretty good film.
My one complaint, though, was the writing and plotting. I mean, it was fairly intelligent, but did they have to continually introduce characters where you wondered for a long time just what their relationship is to the story? That part perplexed me, especially since is is a foreign film, the actors are unknown to me, and the story kind of jumped around.
It's interesting that Dr. Beck is a dead ringer for Dustin Hoffman. I wonder if anyone else picked up on this. Just saying. It's a fine, albeit nearly bloodless, thriller and I recommend it for fans of the genre.
