This is one of the strangest movies I have ever gone to the theater to see. During the first half of the movie, I was completely captivated and thought to myself "I hope they have a sequel"--it was just that good. However, about halfway into it, it was as if the writers and director were replaced (sort of like "tag team" movie making). It went from an interesting tale of a man, thought to be dead, being re-created through plastic surgery and intensive training into a government assassin, to what looked like an episode of the television show Private Benjamin. How did they do this and more importantly, WHY did they do this? I would have LOVED the lone assassin plot where he was sent to kill enemies of the country AND made it look like a natural death. Instead, he met Kate Mulgrew and went on a wacky adventure to kill some general (George Coe). Coe, you will probably recognize from his MANY television appearances where he usually played a light-weight sort of character. He was just the wrong guy to play Remo's first target.
