Movie Reviews of Prime Suspect 1
Movie Review: Unusual
Summary: 4 Stars
The Prime Suspect series is unusual in that Jane Tennison as portrayed by Helen Mirren is not very endearing or likeable-and yet the storys work. Seeking to advance her career at every oportunity, even if it mean stabbing her co-workers in the back, Tennison represents unbridled ambition--in series 3, going as far as not pursuing completion of her investigation into a pedophile ring--on the condition that she receive a promotion.Strange behavior--probably more realistic--but definitely less idealistic. Regardless, like the less than heroic "Cracker" as portrayed by Robbie Coltrane--this series is very interesting and well worth owning.
This particular episode finds Tennison's romantic life crumbling as she pursues a serial killer, though she seems as relentless in promoting herself as she does in capturing the guity party!
At 208 minutes--this episode is a little too much for viewing all at once--but watched a disc at a time--it's very good entertainment!
Movie Review: Good entertainment
Summary: 4 Stars
Helen Mirren is such a good actress, and this series is indeed true entertainment. I was a little put-off by how it was packaged. There was no explanation of what we were getting other than "Series 1". It ended up being one story, of four hour long episodes, but we had to watch it all to learn that. There is no explanation on the product or the listing under Amazon. We didn't know if it was her entire first season, how many shows were included, how long they were. Not sure what we were spending our money on, except that we knew we liked her and the series. Still glad we got it.Movie Review: Great series - poor DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This is more of a review for people that loved the series Prime Suspet and are thinking about purchasing the dvd. The series is fantastic, but the dvds available in the US are quite poor quality. There are weird artifacts in the images as a result of poor compression rate, etc. If you want to get good high-quality dvds of this series you're better off ordering them from the UK (amazon.co.uk has them), but make sure your dvd player can play Region 2 dvds!Movie Review: Prime Suspect Series
Summary: 4 Stars
Helen Mirren is a professional work of art in herself. I am the proud owner of the Prime Suspect series 1 through 6 and have just caught up with No. 1 thanks to prompt delivery courtesy of Amazon.
It has been some time since I have seen No.1 but I wasn't dissapointed and thoroughly enjoyed the interplay between the characters culminating in the final courtroom scene. How did it go down??? Look and see
Movie Review: Very Brittish!
Summary: 4 Stars
This series is exactly what the English love about mystery and crime. It's a tad bit dull compared to what we are used to with cop shows and series like "The Shield". That being said, this series is well done and does capture you over time. Rather than individual crime stories, this series contains only one crime investigation. If you like drama and cop stories, this is a good one.
