Right from the opening round of facial close-ups set to a droning voiceover, you know this is a dud. The plot is stodgy, the acting over-wrought, the theatrical dialogue barely speakable, the orchestral score dull… Even the few good shots of majestic Swiss Alps have been shorn to shreds by over-editing. As for stern baddie Ben Kingsley and his golden eye patch, well that’s just silly. This should be a rip-roaring adventure, but even the old tv series had more zest.
