I really like Pierce Brosnan
Added 12/24/2008
I remember watching this movie back in the 80s. I enjoyed it very much and am happy to add it to my cult classic collection. If you like a good thriller featuring Pierce Brosnan, then this is the movie.

Definitely one of Pierce's best!

This 1986 thriller stars Pierce Brosnan, Lesley-Anne Down, Anna-Maria Monticelli and Adam Ant.
Brosnan is an French anthropologist who for years studied nomadic tribes and peoples in various remote parts of the world. He decided to settle down and lead a more conventional lifestyle. Thus he moved with his wife (Anna-Maria Monticelli) to southern California to embark on a new career as a UCLA professor of Anthropology.
The movie opens up with Jean Pommier (Brosnan) in the hospital emergency room where he is bloody, beat-up and brought in by paramedics. He wispers one word, Innuit, in the ear of Dr. Eileen Flax (Lesley-Anne Down), bit her ear and then died. The Dr. Flax then relives Pommier's last few days and tries to uncover the mystery of his death and try to stop the demons before she suffers the same fate as Pommier.
During the trip back, we encounter a strange group of nomadic urban gang-like, up-to-no-good people led by Adam Ant (kind of reminded me of the group in Clockwork Orange). They are terrorizing Pommier's house and new neighborhood in a black van. Pommier discovers that they are no different than the nomads he tracked in the remote areas of the world. He's intrigued and follows the group around, taking notes and photos, none which come out, but that adds to the chilling thrill ride that this movie takes you on. To reveal anymore would give away the film. This is now one of my top 10 favorite movies---a must see and buy.

This was a Christmas present for my son, and he enjoyed it immensely along with his brother who was visiting for the holiday. This was a movie I personally did not see, but one my son had requested.

The movie was relatively boring until the end when one finally understands what is going on. At the end when the two women are trying to escape the motorcycle rider and he stops at the border of California it violates the whole premise of the move as he has become a "Nomad" and cannot be stopped by any kind of borders.
The acting was only fair and even Pierce Brosnan seemed stiff and uncomfortable in this role. And, as for the "male frontal nudity," that's a joke too. Pierce is naked but the shadows are so dark nothing is visible in the scene.
Save your time and money and see Pierce in "The Thomas Crown Affair."
