I love The Saint (I might have seen it more than twice in theater), but also Chain Reaction.

It’s an egregious example of bad faith. I don’t practice 1A law, but I know enough about litigation to be able to figure out that American law wouldn’t allow an estate to pursue a 1A suit. And that’s accounting for the fact that American law can be … idiosyncratic.
