I read the Ludlum book this is allegedly based on. The novel was great, as are all Ludlum books. Hollywood did its usual of thinking they are better than the author. The movie diverged so greatly from the bookit is essentially unrecognizable. Aside from the title and using same named characters from the book, the movie is pointless and boring. The story is lame and the acting terrible. Most of all though was that they took a great story and totally ruined it.
