when i saw that icon be on tv and i be surprised . i know that the first clue of where it be head be the fact that it be on the hallmark channel have to be say sorry . i be hopeful when i saw that ff himself be the exec producer but very quickly saw that the only real way that the tv movie and the book be similar be in the name and the character name only . the tv plot be a ho hum to say the least but i concur that in and of itself and the action be worth a 3 star . in my personal opinion and mr. swayze could have portray a valid monk and however i think that in order to do the movie justice and it would have be a far long movie and and i do not think hollywood itself would have go for the plot of discreditation by subterfuge . a case in point be the terrible film version of the sum of all fear need i say more .
