...opening game features a well-devised trap. But the lad is too slithery to hold, and he is soon en route to maman, with fatal consequences for her. From that fiery shoot-out until checkmate, the contest becomes increasingly taut, vicious and engaging. At each turn, Laemmle edges closer to his goal. At every escape, Thomas becomes a little wearier, a trifle more dependent on a cast of peasants, restaurateurs, shopkeepers and devious intelligence operatives.

Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), solemnly swears revenge.

As Frank could tell you, it's the same old story: "Boy finds girl. Boy loses girl...
