Ridiculous from start to finish. Connery, Harris, and Fishburne couldn't have wasted their time in a less productive fashion.

In Connery it has a hero who is inescapably appealing.

It doesn't bog down in the bogs, but it's slow-moving just about everyplace else.

The plot machinations here become so contrived and the coincidences so bizarre that by the end ... audience members will likely be scratching their heads.
