My Name is Modesty

Here's a poster for the Modesty Blaise movie Danny mentions in his comment below. Evidently it came out in 2003, although I don't remember hearing anything about it at the time. From the description it's a prequel to the book and comic strip series and takes place before Modesty met Willie Garvin. The comments on imdb.com range from very good to terrible. I have to admit that judging from the poster, the actress playing Modesty doesn't look much like my visualization of the character, but everybody sees fictional characters differently. I'll probably hunt this up and watch it sometime, if no other reason than that the producer, Marcelo Anciano, is an acquaintance of mine from Robert E. Howard fandom.
