I'm interesting in it, but doubt it's as good as the original mini-series. Werthead Send a noteboard - 17/02/2010 12:44:50 AM
The movie is based on a 1985 BBC mini-series (from the same director) which is widely considered to be the CITIZEN KANE of BBC mini-series dramas, at least until it was supersceded by 2003's STATE OF PLAY (interestingly also recently remade as a US movie), and is still a brilliant piece of work to watch today.

The film sounds decent, but the fact they only have about 1/4 the running time to work with makes me suspect a lot of the more interesting ideas and characters from the TV series might have been cut for time.

I missed Gibson as an actor. I think I want to check it out. *NM* - 18/02/2010 09:55:50 AM 112 Views
