Movie Reviews of Sharpe's Sword Collection Set
Movie Review: Sharpe the Maverick
Summary: 5 Stars
This five-disc set is the second of the three sets of DVDs portraying the adventures of Richard Sharpe, containing the episodes "Gold," "Battle," "Sword," "Regiment," and "Siege." Set during the Napoleonic Wars, they tell of the adventures of Richard Sharpe, an Englishman who was born the illegitimate son of a prostitute, orphaned at the age of three, survived a Dickensian childhood, and through an act of near-suicidal bravery, became an officer. As every one of Sharpe's promotions are based on courage and merit, rather than money and birth, this does not make him popular. This collection shows Sharpe hitting his stride as an officer. The first episode, "Gold," is possibly the weakest of the series because of its B-movie plot, but the characterization makes up for it. The scene in which Sharpe punches out the provost makes this episode worth watching on that basis alone. Neither "Gold" nor "Battle" have much in common with the Cornwell books from which their titles and some characters are taken, but every episode in this collection is beautifully acted, there is plenty of adventure, and Sharpe's characteristic gallantry towards women is well portrayed. "Sword" is a must-see for hurt/comfort fans. "Regiment" not only portrays what life was like in the British Army of Sharpe's day, it is excellent at demonstrating what goes around, comes around. "Regiment" is nearly unique in that a woman, Lady Anne, comes to Sharpe's rescue rather than being rescued by him. It is also the episode that has the most in common with the Cornwell book from which it is derived. "Siege" is a typical Sharpe episode in which Sharpe overcomes great odds and completes his mission in spite of his coevals, rather than because of them, but that does not make it predictable. This collection is brilliantly acted and beautifully portrayed. Every Sharpe fan should own it.
