That crazy latino bastard over at Latino Review, El Mayimbe, has posted yet another great script review. This time he's reviewing one of the few (thankfully) non-Uwe Boll video game adaptations - SPLINTER CELL. According to Mayimbe, it's the latest draft (September 1st 2005) from COLLATERAL scribe Stuart Beattie. Here's a little excerpt. Warning: there are MAJOR SPOILERS so if you don't want to know any of this, DO NOT read ahead. If not, read on.

Splinter Cell opens with haunting images of the World Trade Center Bombings, the London Bombings, the Madrid Train Bombings, and the Bali Nightclub bombings. The nature of warfare has changed. The open battlefield has been replaced by surgical terrorist strikes on civilians. Three small lights switch on a trident. To gather the intelligence necessary to prevent these attacks, the National Security Agency formed Third Echelon. A Human Face materializes behind the lights now aiming a silenced pistol. Though it’s very existence is denied by the U.S. government, Third Echelon deploys elite combat units known as SPLINTER CELLS to seek out and prevent terrorist strikes by any means necessary. The SPLINTER CELL OPERATIVE stops before us and scans with his electric-green TRIDENT GLASSES then moves out of frame.
