Let me state this fact first.
If the total running time was under 135 minutes the rating would have been much higher.
This film was made for BBC & it was about 5 hours long.
I do not know how long it was when it was first shown on the PBS stations last November,
The DVD runs slightly over 3 hours (190 minutes). It still is too long.
This is a multi-part tale of an investigation of a traffic accident (Multi car & casualties). The production is quite good as well.
The acting for a large cast from British Television, mostly unknowns to American audiences, Is quite good.
A few of the individual story lines are interesting,BUT in general we have a good film & not an outstanding one. The suspense was lacking,I liked what there was, I just was not in awe. Repeating what I said at beginning if this was under 135 minutes, rating could have been much higher.
Ratings: *** (out of 4) 84 points (out of 100) IMDb 7 (out of 10)
