One

remarkably
talented
writers
around
[This novel is] closely based on the extraordinary TV series, far and away the finest thing the medium has done in this genre; while Disch himself is one of the best SF writers
McKellen delivers a riveting performance as the fear-inducing Number Two. This remake is smart and quick, and succeeds in ways that the original did not. There's more urgency to the storytelling, and a faster pace - accelerating the viewing thrill.
