Quite an interesting story from the makers of 'Sharpe'. The plot, based on the novels of C.S. Forester, is well acted, especially from young Ioan (Titanic) Gruffudd. The cast, including Derby actor Robert Lindsay, is well suited. The story runs at quite a good pace and the plot keeps you on the edge till the end. Hopefully I.T.V. will make another series of this good sea faring adventure.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet certainly got in the mood for this Alien installment and ended up resurrecting the main character, Ellen Ripley. But, what would an Alien film be like without Ripley? The characters in this film, such as Winona Rider's 'Call' and Dominique Pinon's 'Vriess' are great, and for once, some of the cast survive to the credits. Definitely better than the previous installment, this is a film that makes itself quite at home in the Alien saga.
This has got to be one of the most least reviewed films of the century. It deserves far more praise than it actually gets. The cast is excellently cast for the roles because they all look so convincing as criminals, especially Stanley Baxter as Brother Widdows. Definitely one of Leslie Phillips most finest films, definitely the one to watch for good old black and white comedy.
