***SPOILER***

The chick's a guy!


Okay, now that that's over with....
Because of the (at-the-time) controversial twist in the plot, it overshadowed the fact that this film is really a capable spy thriller, which took me by surprise. I knew all about the plot twist by the time I finally saw this, so no biggie there, but the rest of the story was really well-paced and intricate.
I remember Charles complaining about the audience at the screening he went to, because they were all so vocally taken aback by the secret revelation, like they'd never seen a chick with a dick before! He said they ruined the viewing experience with their immaturity, etc....you know how he his.
Oh, those were the days!
