...1960 to 1966. Danger Man was truly groundbreaking it became the blueprint for many espionage thrillers to follow like 'The Avengers', 'Man In A Suitcase', 'The Man From UNCLE', more recently 'Danger Mouse' and predated the huge success of the James Bond franchise.

...cool and a hint of danger and suppressed anger just below the suave charming persona. He was certainly a ladies man but the show always remained 'family friendly' so his liaisons were never consummated… on screen at least. Despite his charm Drake had no qualms about dishing out some rough treatment if the mission required it and each episode invariably featured an exciting fight scene where McGoohan's real life skills as a boxer in his youth were ...

In fact, I can list it as one of the worst big budget action movies I have ever watched. Why? First of all the acting was not impressive, especially coming from an all star cast, which included actors such as Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Bernie ...
...goes to waste. There is also the fact that the angels are not required to do much acting, mostly posing and looking pretty. Another thing that absolutely killed me when watching this was the lack of really good special effects as I had hoped it would at least have if nothing else. If the acting is not good in an action movie I would love for the stunts and effects to be great at least. The fight scenes and special effects weren't the least believable. ... Read review
