If I had not watch Bourne Identity, I would have enjoyed this more. It does have a pretty good conspiracy plot but it's too close to the Bourne Identity. If only it has more originality. It is quite action packed and it did capture my focus for the first 90 seconds but many things contributed to a loss of focus. I really didn't like the shaky scenes where they occur whenever our male lead tries to recall his memory. Those scenes are frequent and gave me headaches with the shaky camera. The acting is not great - a lot of stereotype characters and some exaggerated acting. I thought Stephen Dorff. Acted his character pretty well. One reviewer mentioned that this is not actually a mini-series, it's more like a long movie split into two. I agree with that. I watch a lot of long movies (lasting 2 to 3 hours) and this one is just a long movie. All in all, it's watchable, entertaining but not stellar.
