Code Name: Diamond Head

This failed series pilot constructs a straightforward spy plot, relying on Hawaiian exoticism and the contrast between tropical scenery and covert ops. The direction employs recognizable TV action tropes of the 70s, where every threat must be resolved by the hour mark.

Those who tire of overly complex narratives may find charm in its simple, brisk adventure with crime drama elements, featuring suitably theatrical villains and resolute heroes. What lingers after is a sense of unfulfilled series potential. — MovieFinder Editorial
