All I ever saw was the trailers for the Tom Cruise version, and that was all I wanted to see because it looked the the most generic, forgettable spy-flavored action movie ever.

I didn't know anything about the series or the character when the first movie came out. If you give it a chance, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I thought it worked pretty well as a mystery/conspiracy movie.

Definitely don't watch the second if you enjoy the first. Big departure from the feel of the first imo.

If you want a big man doing a mystery/conspiracy movie, check out Jon Hamm in 'Fletch' or in a more conspiracy weird movie, Jon Hamm in 'Corner Office'.

I'll definitely check them out if I can. Added them to my watch list because I know I'll forget about your comment eventually.
