    Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
    Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
    Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
    Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
    annmoore I really wanted to like this as I have long been a fan of Angela Griffin, but the show is very disappointing. There is not one likeable character in it and the three women leads are just awful. I like Wendy Crewson and I expect the writers wanted to portray her character as a 'tough female in authority' but she just comes across as being bolshy, rude and annoying. The young detective is ridiculously immature - and to find out in episode 7 that she has been in the police force for 10 years? And as for Angela Griffin's accent? Not a winner in my opinion - check out the original - it was far superior.
    merlatta That's a remake of UK series Scott & Bailey and as almost every remake ever made it's not... let's put it that way... very good.
    yo-22657 I loved Scott and Bailey and hope to love this remake. But I was surprised not to see any references to the original until I saw a review here. I wish you well but please credit the original.
    pgdoyle-78691 This is totally a remake of the UK's Scott and Bailey - I recognized that in the first 5 minutes (and stopped to write this). I will give it a chance; I'm interested to see how well Angela Griffin does, I used to watch her on Coronation Street, and Wendy Crewson is always good. I've got to say though, I love the original so much, especially Amelia Bullmore, and my heart sank when I realized what was going on. (However, Scott and Bailey's creator Sally Wainwright is attached, so perhaps there's hope yet.) Go watch Scott and Bailey!
