![]() The David Keith side story adds a psychological twist which is mostly well handled, but not explained well enough. There's a dramatic shift between the first part and second, the first one dealing with Smith and Berenger separately but in the second one the fun really gets going as they team up and stage on grandiose heist after another. Seasoned television director Jerry London keeps this 5 hour marathon continually entertaining, with twists and turns at every corner. Madolyn Smith and Tom Berenger are simply sensational in the lead and the rest of the cast are very good as well, particularly Liam Neeson as a french policeman. This is a hugely entertaining globe trotting adventure courtesy of writer Sidney Sheldon. Hot on their trail is a slimy detective (David Keith) who seems to have a personal agenda concerning Tracy. She meets Berenger, who's in her line of work as well, and the two strike up a working relationship and a romantic one. Having lost everything of value in her previous life, she embarks on a totally new one as a master thief, trained by mysterious Richard Kiely. ![]() Planning to escape, she winds up getting pardoned and avenges her own injustice as well as her mother's. ![]() Tracy (Smith) gets sent to prison by a slimy crimelord and his attorney who were more or less responsible for her mother's death, and she is sentenced to 15 years. One of the most entertaining mini-series ever in my opinion. ![]()
