Movie Reviews of Reilly - Ace of Spies
Movie Review: Excellent series, DVD better than VHS
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my favorite when it was first broadcast, and it's still excellent. Great story, intrigue, acting, etc.
I don't understand the reviewer comment claiming poor DVD transfer. I bought this DVD set to replace my old VHS videotape set. Comparing the first episode carefully, the DVD quality looks as good as most DVD's, and it is a lot better than the old videotapes (which looked pretty washed out on my player).
Movie Review: Neill's Brilliant!!! 5 stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this originally on PBS years ago, absolutely brilliant! This and "My Brilliant Career", are what REALLY hooked me on Sam Neill. The guy is amazing, locations wonderful and rest of cast remarkably gifted as well. One of the best, if not the best, series ever aired on PBS and any other channel, bar none. A real bonus if you're a history buff. Reilly was just a fascinating character....Movie Review: Music to this compelling series????
Summary: 5 Stars
It is stated the music to this most compelling series is by Harry Rabinowitz.But to my ears it is the very sweeping music Shostakovich wrote for "The Gadfly" (Romance, to be exact).
Sam Neill as Reilly is one of the very best performances of his career.
And all the other actors are just perfect. The series of Reilly are very well done and riveting. A must buy.
Movie Review: Great Television
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best Television (mini) series of all time, Sam Neill has never been better, the stories are engaging, one wonders exactly how much is fact and how much fiction, could the map of the 20th century really have been that close to being that different? The image quality is unfortunately not much better than the VHS version but it is still worth the upgrade.Movie Review: Reilly Ace of Spies
Summary: 5 Stars
If viewers of the Jurassic Park movies were pleased with Sam Neill's
performance, they will be interested to see his earlier work in Reilly Ace of Spies. He shows a wider range of his acting ability in this series
and the stories of the spy network in England and Europe - especially in Russia is a look at history from a rarely viewed position.
