This one just doesn't work IMHO.Jim Cavezel comes across as just a guy. McGoohan came across as an implacable, unbending force of nature. Exactly what you had to be in order to challenge something as oppressive and dominating as The Village. Cavezel is just too normal and spends too much of his time being flustered and "fish out of water".I'm not really sure the whole "persuading people that there is nothing outside the Village" tack works as well either. There's too many holes in something like that. Calling people by just numbers "Six" instead of #6 doesn't work well either. They basically seem to have made all the wrong decisions as to what to change and how.The one high point is Ian McKellen, who makes a perfect #2, but he's about the only real bright spot.</blockquote>
