The Consultant

After admiring Hywel Bennett in Tinker Tailor miniseries, I really enjoyed seeing him do this very accurate and intriguing movie. Wish the BBC made it available...my videotape only had part of it! The depiction of ignorant bosses trying to secure a system and thereby leaving it open to all sorts of cons and scams is no longer shocking,but as a computer programmer faced daily with ridiculous requests for secured systems, I really appreciated this program. Hywel is very convincing as a consultant, his sweaty face may be just glycerin but he sure is convincing as a techie trying to look suave. It reminds me of early IBMers and those Oracle techies....
