The Worst Film Ever

best movie i've ever seen.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

As good a show these days as it was back in 1996.Always interesting to see what the actors are doing these days.Not just the main cast but the minor players as well.All cast are on top form with stand out performances from Steve Macintosh ,David O Hara, Julia Lane and the ever dependable Helen Mirren .A great script but with a grubby feel of city life with a realistic look at the drug scene. Really enjoyed it again even after eighteen years as it has dated very little.I bought the box set from Amazon and this is by far the best story line from the entire set. 8/10

The acting in the Prime Suspect series has been consistently excellent, and Errors of Judgement is no different. Steven Mackintosh, a classically underrated British actor fouls the screen with his characterisation of a Mancunian mob boss, all self-possession and narcotic-power miasma. It's hideous - and compelling, of course.Naturally, Mirren's Tennison is equal to him. Just. The secret thrill of Prime Suspect is wondering whether the enduring but fragile Tennison is about to get comeuppance for her previous tenacity and success. A seedy subplot with another odious throwback DCS runs alongside; a horrible murder in a disused public baths completes a new benchmark in dramatic squalor. I don't care enough about anyone for it to stay with me though. 5/10

What a shame the some of the best performances in the entire _Prime Suspect_ series are squandered, owing to a dopey, simplistic script.Tennison makes about 20 stupid mistakes: releasing an endangered suspect without providing protection or surveillance, histrionically aggressive questioning that somehow neglects many basic points: for example, obvious tactics, such as threatening to spread the word that a detainee has spilled his/her guts and then telling the detainee he/she will be put on the street without any assistance. Made me wish for Kojak to magically appear. I could go on and on, but want to avoid spoilers.

Prime Suspect 5 is as close as I have seen to outshining the original (though truth be known I have not see 2 or 3). The first thing we notice about PS5 is that Jane Tennison has a new hairdo, and has been moved to a different area (she's there to terrorise those men at Manchester now), and there is a line in the beginning of the film that captures the mood of the station perfectly:"That bloody Jane Tennison, she'll be storming into your nic, the balls of your best officers trailing from her jaws, spraying people with claret, calling people masons, threatening resignation. Well I just wanted to let you know I'm not a complete maniac." And this line is said by Tennison herself!!!Jane Tennison's investigations lead her this time into the world of organised crime and drugs, when she goes after a man known as "the street". What makes this miniseries so interesting is that it keeps you gripped until the very last frame, especially when you find out the person who is leaking information to the bad guys is ****************** (thought I was going to tell you didn't you?)Twists and turns in the plot, an excellent storyline and excellent performances on every part (though Mirren seems to make them all fade into the background with her superior acting ability - I'm a biased member of the HMAS, and I'm the biggest fan of Helen Mirren to ever be, especially because I'm 15!!).Thankyou, Helen, Thankyou, Lynda LaPlante, and thankyou, channel seven (for actually showing the series - prime suspect is scarcely available on video to buy or hire over here in Oz) - but I'm still waiting for 2 & 3!!!! .....you fink whateva you want babyluv, whateva tickle ya fancey, whateva lift ya dress......9 out of 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
