Working to a successful formula but good, 4 January 2008
7/10
Author: ed_two_o_nine from United Kingdom

I have just watched this for the first time and quite enjoyed it. Although this sticks to a tried and tested Britisg TV formula's (rural setting, set in the past, a wise old weary detective schooling a enthusiastic your Police man) this is enjoyable stuff. I am not familiar with the source material so do not know how faithful it is, but I found the a well written script with believable characters. Martin Shaw showed the right amount of world weariness and intelligence to give the tittle character the right amount of depth and he is ably supported by a quality British cast. A special mention must go out to the always excellent Phil Davis who brings a real touch of menace to the lead villain. I presume this TV movie was a feeler to see if it could be developed in to a series which I think it has potential to do. They will need to flesh out some more support characters and I think they will be better of sticking to one of TV films like the truly great Morse.
