Was looking for more adventure and was not convinced by the series of convient conincidences and conclusion jumping. The ending did take me by surprise though- which differs substantially from the Hitchcock film. Credit to Hitchcock for actually featuring women unlike Buchan (not that it passes the Bechdel test).
