      Daniel R I saw it years ago. It is well done and entertaining. Worth watching if you can find it somewhere. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member What a truly wonderful movie. Patrick Stewart is fantastic, the script and direction are top notch. It keeps you engrossed throughout the movie. Definitely worth your time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member a very enjoyable movie, witty and dramatic and funny all at the same time. One of my favorite Patrick Stewart movies (outside of Trek) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I only watched this for Patrick Stewart. Mace Sowell (Stewart) claims he used to be a government assassin and everyone thinks he's senile and crazy. Decking out his home with guns and security, he trains with drills and scares off housekeepers and maids. His daughter and son-in-law are worried, and everyone seems to be against the paranoid conspiracy theorist. The first half plays like a weird comedy, and it gets thrilling near the end and finishes with a whimper rather than a bang. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member So goofy but there is the scene in the shower...lol Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Computer tech had advanced just enough to consider this film a suspense and not sci-fi. Unique premise. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
