WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bene Cumb This decade have more desolate parts of the UK created their own crime dramas, where harsh nature bears a natural ing part, emphasizing the bad thoughts and bad deeds... Events and characters are intertwined, actors-actresses have usually no model look, creating the atmosphere of reality and letting to pay more attention on the whole cast rather than someone single and "famous". The series in question, with main events in the Scottish Highland, includes the features above, and that is why it is generally to my liking. But as the total No. of episodes is 4 only, some supplementary events and characters are excessive, focusing on 1 crime could have been enough. The course of solving the crime is okay, the wrongdoer was not revealed too early, but the motives and background did not leave distinct impression for me. That is why I rate e.g. Shetland and Happy Valley higher than this miniseries here.

ikanboy The who in whodunit stays well hidden until near the end, but not before practically everybody else is trotted out as a possibility. The plot, as usual, revolves around everyone doing the wrong thing, including the Detective, played by a favorite of mine, Laura Fraser, whose deer in the headlight looks are a delight. Unfortunately after all the shenanigans the denouement seems over blown, and the tied up plot ends too pat.

dale-51649 The story is about a pair of newlyweds who get murdered, and their grief stricken families confusingly end up with what they think is the killer in their midst. The acting is fair and the cinematography is fairly good, however, the writing is sadly off the mark. As a baby boomer I can claim a phd in street pharmacology , and there is a cringe inducing scene in this piece that it can't recover from.. A character is a low level drug dealer, and a quantity of 25 acid hits ends up floating around. When a young teen steals a hit and drops it, she thinks she hallucinates that she can safely jump from a 15th floor or so balcony. Really? They are going to reprieve the old "thought they could fly" acid tripping thing? That went around the first time in the 60s, we didn't buy it then , and I don't think many buy it now. Oh I am not saying it NEVER happened, I'm just saying a few million boomers will tell you they saw a lot, and never saw anything like that happen, EVER. No flashbacks either, yea those are fake too. Were the writers too young to know any of this? Coudln't they ask?In real life there was a surgeon who was convicted of killing his family after claiming a band of hippies did it, and they think he also was the one who wrote "kill the pigs, acid is groovy" on the mirror. The DA knew nobody who dropped acid would ever say that, maybe he thought they could fly too.

morrison-dylan-fan After being intrigued by the BBC trailers that made the mini-series look like an Agatha Christie-inspired Noir family Drama,I decided to start uncovering the episodes,one by one.The plot:A man drives to the Scottish highlands and crashes his car.Seeing the car crashed,two families who have known each other for decades,come out on the stormy night to help him out.Never having seen the guy before,the families are taken aback,when one of their addresses is found in his coat pocket.Feeling that he might be dangerous, (and with the police unable to answer calls due to the storm) the families decide to lock him in the barn yard for the night.Coming out the next morning to get info out of the night,the families discover that during the night,one of them killed him.View on the show:Taking place against a beautiful Scottish backdrop,the Williams steam a dour Noir family drama with a brittle Agatha Christie-style Murder Mystery in eps 1 and 4,with stylishly tinted flashbacks from director William McGregor bringing the fractured nature of the relationships out of the loyal families.Whilst the cast (which includes a great John Lynch) give gravitas to the murky revelations,the Williams clip the Noir mystery tension in eps 2 and 3 by focusing on the troubled relationships between the families running dry with forced family unease that tries to cast harsh Film Noir isolation on the families,but fails to match the burning Noir anxiety cut deep into the first and final episodes.
