Fast-moving, hard-hitting adventure, Sharpe brings to the screen all the danger, romance and sheer spectacle of one of the bloodiest periods in English warfare.

it is hard not to repeat oneself when there are thirteen dvd's to review. excellent.
Rating: - Carries on the Tradition in Grand Style
I saw my first movie, "Sharpe's Gold" on A&E and became hooked. I am currently on my quest to collect the entire series on DVD, with the Complete Collection being out of my price range, the smaller collections work out just fine!

Rating: - From Rifles to Swords
Richard Sharpe finds himself in the unusual position of a swordfight to the death in this episode of the Sharpe series. Sean Bean plays the character with his usual aplomb, and peripheral characters such as Hogan return. Like all the Sharpe movies, this one is watchable and entertaining, and the plot of Napoleon attempting to capture Wellington's spy, El Mirador, adds to the suspense.
Rating:  - Enjoyable, but not outstanding

He gives a great portrayal of a self-confident, manly British major, and his great Yorkshire accent is, for once, allowed to lilt unmolested. However, the drawbacks are not due to his performance, but to the movie itself.
I have only glanced into the books, but Bernard Cornwell seems to be involved more in plotlines than anything else - a lot of swordplay, a lot of romance, ... Read More
