    Edit
    • Trivia
      This is the first of only 2 films in the entire series to temporarily break chronology by opening with a flashback, to an event that took place in 1810, which puts that particular mission between 'Sharpe's Eagle' (1809) and 'Sharpe's Company' (1813). The other one is 'Sharpe's Challenge', which opens with a flashback to 1803 (long before 'Sharpe's Rifles', taking place in 1809), then jumps forward 14 years for the rest of the movie (3 years after 'Sharpe's Waterloo').

      When Sharpe rolls over a dead Frenchman he blinks.
    • Quotes

      Wellington: I'd be obliged if you'd show that fellow Shellington around the camp. I can't spare another officer.

      Sharpe: Yes sir.

      Wellington: Oh, and Sharpe, you better brace yourself. He's a poet.

      Sharpe: Poet, sir? My wife will be delighted.

      Wellington: Really? Personally I'd rather call for the surgeon and have him cut off my goddamn foot with a saw.

    Another good outing
    Sharpe's Mission bucks the trend of the later Sharpe episodes in still being a good story with plenty of action. Once again Sean Bean excels in the lead role, ably supported by an impressive cast.

    The story, as mentioned, is good; exposing the corrupt nature of some elements engaged in France, as well as hinting at the first signs of weakness in Sharpe's marriage. The episode moves along at a brisk pace, and yet still has time for some nice touches of humour with Harris' dealing of the slimy Shellington.

    Overall a good episode which whilst not achieving the highs of the first few outings, still an improvement over some of the later showings.
