Over performed...

I found the performance to be so overwrought it detracted from the story. I don't think it represented the spirit of the characters! I love McBain, even though he is pretty passé but this version will not get me to come back, I found I was actually relieved when it ended.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
