3/10
Hitchcock Redux
28 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Spoiler Alert

---------

Thin (and thinly disguised) rip-off of Hitchcock's North By Northwest.

Val Kilmer plays innocent Dr. Nicholas Pinter (Cary Grant/Roger Thornhill) mistakenly confused for non-existent John Charter (George Kaplan). This mistaken identity is exploited by spies who had been using the non-existent Charter/Kaplan to divert attention from the real spy, Izabella Miko as Katrine (Eva Marie Saint/Eve Kendall). Along the way Pinter/Thornhill and Katrine/Eve fall in love and the inexperienced doctor/advertising executive manages to kill a few bad guys and save the girl and live happily ever-after.

Save the trouble and get the original. The Saul Bass title sequence alone is better than this drivel.
