i just finish read forsyth novel icon . i think it be one of the most in depth and detail and and page turn book i ever read and definitely in my top 10. i acquire a dvd version of the book star mr. swayze . ok and let me first point out that to fit a decent adaptation of the novel into 2 . 5 hour film time would of be impossible and so i understand the team reason to sway from the book version and differ . however and when i say differ what i really should say be take the character from the book and add a few and leave a few out and take away the book plot and add a modern new plot and add frederick forsyth name in there somewhere . im not say this be a bad picture and far from it and some of the effect be top notch and the act wasn not half bad . the story suck and do not rely on logic or reality . forsyth novel be so good and real and alter the fact of reality instead of exaggerate them . this could of be so much more if it have take it time and be make into say a 10 part series . if you haven not read the book then expect a decent tv movie with a good acting cast and if you have read the book then try and forget it when watch this .
