Taken at face value as an action movie, therefore, Remo Williams isn't all that noteworthy. This movie is often misunderstood, and that, coupled with its somewhat-lower-than-average-budget look, may explain why there was no sequel to the movie, which was subtitled in the US "The Adventure Begins." It wasn't quite big-budget enough to satisfy people wanting to see a competitor for James Bond, and it wasn't quite like any other movie enough for people to "get it" right off. It is tremendously entertaining, as long as you aren't expecting something totally serious or totally comical. It's a semi-serious, semi-spoof Action/Comedy/Crime/Thriller/Martial Arts movie that doesn't fit neatly into any category. This movie inspires different reactions from people, depending on the expectations they bring to their first viewing.
