Who cleans up our mess?

Steve from East Anglia, 27th July, 2004

This is a cracking good film, while not the very best of the Jane Tennison movies it still manages to hold the audience.
It starts with the discovery of a mutilated women's body on a building site, then off to world of illegal immigrants, Serbian nationalists, virtual slave labour, and the slippery sleazy legal system. As usual, nobody tells the truth....unless it's dragged out of them.

Another Helen Mirren battle against her superiors!

Ellie from Wiltshire, 29th March, 2004

If you like the other prime suspects, you'll like this one as it has all the necessary ingredients in spades.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Gripping TV

The best DVD I have watched for years. I had forgotten how good this series was. 3 hours of twists, a deep plot and superb acting. Not to be missed.

She's still worth watching.

A Customer from Birmingham, 19th July, 2008

Personally I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others but it is still worth a watch. I found it quite slow to start but the tension builds nicely and it does hook you. Tennison is looking a bit haggard and the cracks are starting to show which adds to her character. It also seems that the Vultures have started to circle for her too. She's still worth watching.

Captivating and realistic - a real treat.

A Customer from Scotland, 12th November, 2006

Once again Helen Mirren turns in a classy performance as Jane Tennison, who has to put up with age-ism and chauvanism in the workplace whilst attempting to find the killer of a young woman. The realism in this feature-length drama is striking, and helps force the issues it confronts into the forefront of your mind. Well worth seeing.
