Movie Reviews of Foyle's War: Set Four
Movie Review: flawless
Summary: 5 Stars
From Michael Kitchen to Honeysuckle Weeks to the plots to the scenes, this is as flawless a series of movies as I can remember. Classy, poignant at times, funny.
Conveys the WWII period in England in depth without detracting from the plot. Despite the quality of backstory and the depth of the primary characters, these episodes remain mysteries. Amidst the background of war in England in the forties, Foyle hunts what some might see as petty murders or "just thieves". It reminds me of Night of the Generals, showing the single-mindedness and bulldog grip a police officer can have even though the world around him seems to be crumbling.
An expensive, quality piece of storytelling and movie making.
I have the series-to-date and eagerly wait for more.
Movie Review: FOYLE'S WAR FOUR: More outstanding performances
Summary: 5 Stars
The FOYLE'S WAR series has been outstanding from the first season on. The fourth season, which takes us further into the struggles of a smart and honorable policeman during WWII, continues to please. An outstanding cast led by the amazing Michael Kitchen with able support of Anthony Howell and Honeysuckle Weeks, takes us into wartime Britain and the delicate balance between fighting a war and upholding the law. Foyle, a most principled policeman, is constantly fighting for justice when those around him would compromise "for the good of the nation." By the the end of season four we are left wondering if Mr. Foyle has not lost the battle.
It's outstanding theatre which raises issues we face today.
Movie Review: Thank Heavens for Foyle
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps age has dulled me or perhaps it's the appalling lack of intelligent programing on television. In any case, I search out dramas or mysteries, such as this series, that hold my attention with wonderfully written and acted stories blending history and drama in fine detail. The characterizations are suberb and always leave you wanting more. I am grateful to learn that there will be more of Foyle - it would be so disappointing to leave the series at the end of the 4th set. I really hope that the British continue their fine productions in this genre. If you are looking for a present for a baby boomer or boomer+ - look no further than this series - there are few as good and none finer!Movie Review: Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
This show is extraordinary and when I saw the last episode I was heartbroken to think it might be over.
Everything is perfect, especially the actors and exceptionally fine is Michael Kitchen, a favorite of mine who reminds me of the late, great Ed Flanders. Quiet yet eloquent; caring without showiness.
One thing did annoy me (as with most British shows) is the attitude to Americans: put downs, British actors playing Americans as dimwitted, arrogant and backwards in manners.
But I'm glad to see they will be making more episodes and I cannot wait for them. Truly ensemble acting at its best.
Movie Review: Foyle's War #4
Summary: 5 Stars
Mystery & Histery Inspector Foyle & his loyal crew again manage to resolve trouble on the home front which is connected to the military and the war effort. WW2 comes alive in this series, we almost expect to hear Edward R. Murrow. It's wartime England with it's Home Guard, food shortages, and in these stories, the Yanks "taking over".
The plots are good, and the characterizations are excellent. The story involving testing of anthrax is especially chilling in view of our concerns with biological warfare in the more recent past.
I have enjoyed Foyle's War & recommend it.
