@Scott Mendelson
Actually the title of the movie is \”Stormbreaker\” (US-Title: \”Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker\”), and I liked the movie very much although you have to consider that there had to be some changes in the the storyline compared to the book to meet the regulations to be rated for a younger audience.

I wouldn\’t call Stormchaser \’good\’, but I did kinda love the ending. Here was a PG-rated variation on James Bond Jr, and the film had the same bleak and cynical ending as Three Days of the Condor. The hero\’s life is saved by the evil henchman (the same guy who murdered the hero\’s uncle), and the villain (Mickey Rourke no less) is killed by said assassin purely because the higher-ups don\’t need him anymore. It\’s the kind of thing that makes me think that the books were much darker and possibly more interesting.
