Well, I guess I'll have to play odd-man-out this week. I really didn't care for this version of the story at all. I often do enjoy RMT's modernized adaptations. For example, I think their version of The Tell-Tale Heart is excellent---very compelling. But this one just didn't work for me. I thought the whole trick ending was pretty hokey AND predictable, and that Mr X was pretty over-the-top. Actually, I thought he was pretty funny. He had me crackin' up. :lol:

Also, overall, I just don't care for secret agent, spy counter-spy, or mental torture scenarios. Yeah, that was a really controlled experiment. Psychiatrists standing by to stop the test at the first signs of mental breakdown? Give me a break. Now if the guy had been a really top-flight secret US government agent, he would have figured out how to knock off Mr X with a ball-point pen or a wad of chewing gum or something. Or maybe the wife seduces Mr X and then gives him a few Emma Peel karate chops and throws him in the pit. THAT would have been a good story!
