Summary of Five Days (HBO Miniseries)
A mother Leanne vanishes into thin air. Her children abandoned in her car also go missing. As police search for clues over three gut-wrenching months the Leanne's husband and family learn that nobody's quite what they seem. Everyone is a suspect. In the end five days prove critical in solving the case in this five-part five-hour thriller.Running Time: 300 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/HBO UPC: 026359446320 Manufacturer No: 1000037104An ordinary afternoon turns into a 79-day nightmare in this absorbing, if leisurely-paced BBC/HBO co-production. Leanne (Christine Tremarco), a mother of three, leaves her youngest children in the car while she buys flowers for a relative. In a flash, she's gone. Her mercurial husband, Matt (David Oyelowo), and teenage daughter, Tanya (Lucinda Dryzek), from a previous marriage, call in the authorities. Superintendent Barclay (Hugh Bonneville), Sergeant Foster (Janet McTeer), and Officer Farnes (Nikki Amuka-Bird) take charge of the case, while the missing woman's parents, Barbara and John (Penelope Wilton and Patrick Malahide), help out around the house. Slowly but surely, several potential suspects come into view. With each episode representing a different day, this five-part series weaves an intricate web. Like the BBC's State of Play, but on a more intimate scale, each group is in opposition against the other. That includes reporters, co-workers--even an innocent bystander gets caught up in the commotion. Race complicates matters further, since Leanne is white and Matt is black. In the end, though, character takes precedence over all other concerns. While the acting is up to the BBC's usual high standards, MI-5's Oyelowo deserves special mention as a man coping with every kind of pressure. The two-disc set concludes with "Behind the Mystery," in which writer Gwyneth Hughes discusses the thinking behind her script. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
