"The amnesiac-spy thriller before it got sleek"
Long before Matt Damon ran through European alleys, this two-part 1988 TV movie told the same Robert Ludlum story: a man pulled half-dead from the sea has no memory of who he is, only unnervingly precise instincts for violence and evasion. As he pieces together his identity, he realizes shadowy forces want him found, or silenced. It's a slower, more theatrical take than later versions, built on dialogue-heavy intrigue and old-school suspense rather than kinetic action, carried mainly by its lead performances and the inherent hook of the amnesiac-spy premise.
the original, more talky take on Ludlum's amnesiac-assassin premise decades before the film franchise.
you expect Bourne-movie action pacing rather than a dialogue-driven 1980s miniseries.
