Did the writers even read the book?

1/10

"Think4Yourself thinks... (1 star). How can you take a great book series by John D MacDonald with one of the most iconic characters in fiction and miss the whole essence of the character? All you had to do was translate any of the novels to a screenplay and you would have had a great success. Instead, you decided to rewrite the story into your typical action movie stereotype and just use the name so you could attract a few more viewers. Yuck...."

💡 Did You Know?

Don Johnson wanted to make a Travis McGee-movie after leaving Miami Vice (1984), but it was turned down several times partly because of the failure of this project.
