It's a romance/drama with a character from a monster movie and the backdrop of a secrete government agency from 50/60s Cold War against Russia. Think Men in Black, Frankenstein, Romeo and Juliet, Oliver Twist, and James Bond all mixed together. There are so many different aspects to the story that none are fully developed or explored. There are aspects of this story that could make it very interesting but there is so much going on that most are just glazed over. The many aspects and little depth makes it move very slow. The actual love story could have played out in a hour long tv special and yet this movie is 2 1/2 hours on tv. After finishing this movie I feel I could use a nap.
