Disc 1 is just not playable October 15, 2008 Having read other, previous feedback complaining about Disc 1 and its defectiveness, I was a bit wary before ordering this DVD. But I went ahead and bought it. Sure enough, my Disc 1 was also defective. Amazon needs to address this issue. We sent the video back for a refund but were still out some ancillary costs.
As for the video itself? Very dated. Also the music is too loud on the soundtrack. Pierce is great, as usual, but the acting otherwise is not the greatest.
INTRIGUING STORY October 15, 2008 VERY PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCT. ALL WAS AS ADVERTISED. WOULD BUY FROM THIS VENDOR AGAIN.
GREAT PIERCE BROSNAN STUFF! October 5, 2008 THIS IS BROSNAN AT HIS BEST, GREAT MOVIE, GREAT PLOT AND ACTING..I ENJOYED IT MUCH..SO WILL OTHER BROSNAN FANS..I ALSO RECOMMEND THE MANIONS OF AMERICA, IF YOU CAN FIND IT!!
Noble Effort September 15, 2008 This is a longer version than the VHS. It is the mini-series as made for TV on DVD; this accounts for the additional minutes. The movies is broken into four segments, which I objected to (at first) but it gives one an intermission every hour or so. The content of the movie is exactly the same as the VHS tape. I have heard some people say that it did not have this scene or that scene, but they were all there. I would rather have had the DVD run as one movie (hence the 4 stars), but I really do enjoy this movie and I do recommend this DVD highly.
Stood the test of time September 9, 2008 I remembered watching this years and years ago when it was first shown on television, so I wasn't sure how it would stand the test nearly 20 years later. As it turned out I enjoyed it, didn't regret buying it, and don't feel the need to hide it at the back of my collection.
