Movie Reviews of The Investigator
Movie Review: Gripping drama, well acted
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree about the quality and impact of the film. Plus, I concur about Helen Baxendale. Her performance is excellent; you can see the progression of her character, and she's so convincing. I also like the characterization of females in the film, especially the Meagher character. It is so, so different from Hollywood/independent U.S. films, where the female characters are made to be so girly. Here's a female character who, as acted by Meagher, is disciplined and professional -- that is, realistic.
Summary of The Investigator
Assigned to root out lesbians in the British military, a soldier turns from hunter to preyHelen Baxendale (Cold Feet, Friends) stars as Caroline Meagher, who in the 1980s was an up-and-coming staff sergeant in the Royal Military Police. Caroline eagerly accepts a plum assignment with the Special Investigative Branch. But her task?to root out and interrogate suspected lesbians?becomes a nightmare as she gradually awakens to the truth about her own heart?s desire.
Based on a true story, this stirring drama tells a shocking tale of intolerance, of private lives invaded and careers destroyed?all carried out in the name of justice when the only crime is love.
Contains strong coarse language
