the movie be a long awaited release and which where a bit disappointing because of the expectation i have set up . when look at it again i must say it be actually pretty ok. first of all be it very true to the original history ( of course not completely ) and be a such only make to keep the right for the movie . modesty history a a child be show and be very true to the original . the acting be perhaps not the best around and the plot be a bit thin and but when you compare it to the 1966 vitti movie be way well just because it be not try to be a musical . generally would i only recommend it to fan of modesty blaise or to someone who by catch it on the tv .
