3 stars (Good Enough) I loved this when it came out but two rewatchings later it doesn't seem so good. Peck overacts badly and the script's weak and woolly. Heresy, I know. Watch it for Baker, Kay and McNeice and try to ignore the dreadful score. ~HiFi
5 stars (Exceptional) I loved this when it came out and I loved seeing it again. Bob Peck is compelling and the drama is overall well paced. The scenes in the old mines were great. Eric Clapton on guitar is a little dated - very Pink Floyd. ~CAR
3 stars (Good Enough) Nicely convoluted ripping yarn. ~Shorty
