Re-reading the synopsis I'm not sure what made me think this film was worth watching in the first place.
It's very moralistic, with heavy-handed messages about the treatment of Mr Soames. Robert Vaughn's character is an annoyingly perfect human being.
It's all rather dull though. Mr Soames is awakened via brain surgery and then rapidly educated to the mental age of about a 3-4 year old. And that's it really. Lots of montage sequences of him having lessons and developing and messing about and playing games. Boring. Really boring.
Ultimately he escapes, runs away (nothing interesting happens during these sequences), hides out and is captured again and that's where it ends.
Also, there's something really nauseating about watching a grown man pretend to be a baby and a toddler.
