646f9e108c In Sofia, Bulgaria in 1992, an American doctor takes a detour in life when he helps a mysterious woman escape from her would-be assailant and becomes a victim of mistaken identity,seen in the Alfred Hitchcock classic North by Northwest. I&#39;m too tired to think and be insightful, though I&#39;ve had the energy to read some of the other reviews and I think most USERS got it right. There&#39;s enough nice scenery, things to try and figure out (though not that tough) and story here to keep one mildly entertained. Though if you&#39;re like me watching via streaming video and are pulled away at mid-point there is no guarantee the film will be finished later. I would bet the makers knew they were putting together a movie for the sake of making a movie,opposed to being particularly inspired. WARNING: Kilmer has put on much weight. You&#39;d think the makers would be smart enough to eliminate action, chase scenes, etc. Wrong. Val is seen too often outrunning fit men at a pace assuring last place at the local fundraising 5K race. Hey Val, the ambulance is right behind you and they&#39;ve already closed the finish line reception. Well, folks, here&#39;s the thing… Nu Image is all about business. Invest &quot;X&quot; amount of money, get &quot;X x 2&quot;. That&#39;s why you get the results this studio is showing recently. For a couple of millions you can NOT get a Hollywood star, neither you can get a real Hollywood set or decent script that can make the story interesting. Same goes for the FX effects and all the stuns. At the end you have &quot;X&quot; amount of DVD market sells, that breaks the bill for Nu Image and some profit. But, you get Val Kilmer, Wesley Snipes, Jean Clode or Steven Segal. Most of the time By the way, all of them have a hell of a time in Bulgaria, because the clubs, drinks, food and specially the girls are cheap, and they come in great quantities and varieties. For an average US viewer this movie will be a mess of unsubstantiated facts, story lines and unjust mix of languages that make no sense. But hey, who gives a damn in that type of a B-movie weather the cars are from the age, the cell phones are current or anything in the story make any sense or not. Once you get Nu Image release all you want is some action, stuns, gun fight, FX and naked pretty girls. You don&#39;t get every time all of the above in enough quality and quantity, but life is unfair anyways….<br/><br/>For all Bulgarian viewers, the movie was a bouquet of ALL Bulgarian movie stars gathered together in funny roles. Even the tight budget by US movie standards, is more than enough to pay all those Bulgarian actors plenty. Show your self for 30 seconds, don&#39;t say a word, get a thousand bucks or more. In Bulgaria that&#39;s a bargain. Izabella Miko is a charm, too bad she does not get naked here. Val Kilmer is kind of drugged or drunk (from all that night life he got in Sofia maybe) All the Bulgarians are fine – the do their job professionally. Almost no FX what so ever, no dissent stuns. Couple of good scenery shots in Sofia. Extremely stupid and lame story.<br/><br/>That&#39;s it folks
