If you have 2 1/2 hours for a who done it flick, I would recommend this movie. It is not a fast pace movie, nor are there any big explosions etc. Keeps you guessing..... you gotta pay attention though. There are a number of hot & heavy sex scenes, I would say its a R rated movie. But it describes it as a TV movie... surely not here in the USA.
I give it a 6-6.5 stars.

James Weber Brown is an ex naval officer with issues, and now a Private Eye with a penchant for a rough sex. When various women he has bedded turn up murdered and mutilated, the police suspect him and he has to find the real killer.
Once a 3 part TV series and it shows with the first third really badly constructed and with a poor script. It does settle into relative adequacy towards the end if you can believe the fast and furious twists and turns, but overall pretty lame stuff exacerbated by a daft, unbelievable central performance by Weber Brown playing a completely unsympathetic, wooden character who women seem to adore despite the fact he is a total zombie. One or two nuggets, but mostly dire.

Friends of mine watched this and loved it. I watched it on their recommendation just to be polite. I wanted to turn it off after the first sex scene because I felt like this was a B movie using porn actors to flesh it out, no pun intended.
The acting is appalling. The script is laughable. You know that when the lead actor touches blood on a dead body and then wipes it all over the front of his sweater things are only going to get worse... And they did.
As others here have mentioned it is so old fashioned. I mean I hate all these WOKE/PC for the sake of it movies but this is offensive. Utter amateur night dross. And now I have to go away and think of a way of telling me friends what I thought about this turkey without hurting their feelings!

Without doubt the most atrocious film ever.
The "lead man", whoever he is cannot act his way out of a paper bag, the script is truly dreadful, verging on the illiterate and the direction is just comical in its direness.
Don't know when it was made but it's just so dated it looks like the camera work and sexual attitudes of the 1970s.
It goes from one dreadful sex scene to another, rather in the vein of a second rate porno made by a trainee floor manager.
There's some involvement with the Royal Navy, they must have died of embarrassment by now.
It said the release date was 2015, it must have been hidden for years since being made as everything is so dated, both in looks, history, attitudes.
The really awful thing too is that just when you hope and pray it's finished, it's hasn't, it goes bloody on.
Can only assume the director never worked again,please god!
Just don't waste three hours on this, it's AWFUL!

....who hasn't done it. The film keeps you guessing despite the overlong 2 hrs 35 minutes.... Lots of sex scenes and lots of mutilated dead bodies....
