All in all, this isn't a half-bad political thriller. It just would have been better had it been about half as long.

It's good, hammy fun, if you give in to the nonsense.

What is obvious to viewers after only a few minutes is not obvious to the supposedly crack investigators dispatched to untangle the conspiracy, whose Ludlumesque layers they fail to see.

It's the kind of story that asks you to either take off your thinking cap or be bored and indifferent.

Poorly cast and performed (including an embarrassing turn by Val Kilmer), XIII is shot so murkily and staged so badly, you can hardly tell where people are, let alone where they're going.

Just saw it again on Netflix I didn't even remember how good this was. Fantastic series; crisp, great acting, smart storyline and plot. Great cuts and photography, there were even some references to the original video game. It's interesting that this is one of the very few adaptions **** that's worth watching.
