Présumé dangereux

I had a few hopes before watching this James Hadley Chase's novel adaptation. Yes, I had a few hopes, at least that the spirit is respected, kept, I did nor ask, expect the whole plot, because there are too many characters in the novel. So many...But once more, I was deceived. It is too much light hearted, too comedy oriented. But it's not genuinely a comedy though. The overall basic plot is more or less close to the book, yes, but that's the last film from this late eighties and early nineties French TV film series adapted from James Hadley Chase that I will watch; I mean those starring Michael Brandon. The presence of Robert Mitchum was the main reason for me to try this lousy picture from George Lautner - who gave us much much better in the past.
