Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

aurasbob Very well written & Suspenseful ! You will interested in the story & Ending!

Khun Kru Mark Alternating timelines - the 'go to' plot device that the people who make TV love - and people who watch TV hate! But in this case, it works well and actually makes sense. Also - it's not too confusing for the viewer!Some well-known faces from every other TV drama are wheeled out in this above average drama. Some will find their faces reassuring - others (like me) will find them annoying... especially Juliet Stevenson who is just too overexposed to the point where I can no longer see past the face of an actress into the soul of a character.But that aside, this is still a pretty captivating addition to the library of British commercial television drama... even though the ending is pretty silly and very implausible.The story is about a documentary maker (Stevenson) who delves back half a century into the mystery of a missing child for which her step-father was hung for murder.Greg Wise who plays the stepfather is the stand out here. He's another seemingly never out of work actor who shows up several times a year on TV in something or other. But this role is a true masterclass. His expressions of initially evil and eventually fear are worth a thousand words.There are themes of family skeletons and police evidence tampering played out against a backdrop of domestic friction. The investigator is having a tough time ignoring her daughter as she seems to be a wannabe goth! But she plows on with her important work anyway. Meanwhile, in another life, a young detective on his first missing persons case, struggles with his colleagues as he is determined to hang a man for murder despite having no body. The court scenes are very intimidating and the hanging is also very dramatic.So - if you can stomach seeing the same old faces on your TV and you're willing to put up with a rather convoluted final act then it's worth your time.

Bene Cumb British suspense mini-series are a kind of trade mark, always giftedly thought through, directed and performed using distinct and mostly character actors able to provide new angles even when the background or matter are not fully to your taste.Place of Execution is another good example of the above, with past and present thrillingly intertwined, when viewers can ponder on and over what really could happen and what answers could the present bring along... Actors like Juliet Stevenson or Lee Ingleby are catchy both appearance-wise and performance-wise, and all the cast, even in smaller roles, are just fit for them, providing realistic atmosphere. On the other hand, some pace and some logic of events left to be desired, but it may well be so that I am just "spoilt" by similar other British and Scandinavian series...Nevertheless, the work in question is definitely above average, but the length - 3.5 hours - requires you find a time for this. Preferably in succession.

oblivionhaha as a fan of wire in the blood, i was excited to see this mini series adaptation of another of val mcdermid's novels . without giving too much away, an investigative journalist / documentary filmmaker confronts a nasty nearly 50 year old crime head on discovers, in the process, that pieces of her own personal history are intertwined with her documentary subject. this could have made for some interesting twists and turns but unfortunately, the narrative never truly takes flight, the suspense never builds, and, outside of the fine old and young detective George, key characters never get the development that would have enriched this sordid tale. subsequently, the whole thing feels flat. add to that a few poor choices for period defining characters in the likes of the step father circa early 1960s,a general inability to compellingly capture the period and a plodding slouch towards its conclusion and you're left with a sort of watchable, mostly innocuous time waster that doesn't have much to recommend it.
