I gave it 9 out of 10 because I found it very entertaining. I've read some comments about accuracy (who cares); it's all about the storyline which I thought held up. In the end I want to be entertained and this film accomplished that. Very refreshing compared to the trash we have to see on TV in the US.I also read other comments on the IMDb message board about the acting and in general that the production was like a high school play. Come on? I think the acting was fine.In general throughout the entire movie I think they got the look and feel of the era right. I've also seen that they plan on making this into a series. Should be good!!!

Patrick Kennedy would not be unfamiliar to most viewers. He can be see in Downton Abbey, Boardwalk Empire. Day of Atonement, War Horse, and Pirates of the Caribbean, to name a few.Her he is a doctor in wartime London trying to school the police in forensic science as he attempts to determine cause and criminal in several murders.There is a bit of Foyle's War here, but the focus is on Doctor Collins, not the police.He is assisted by Molly Cooper (Tamzin Merchant), who I imagine is a stand in for the author Molly Lefebure, upon which the film is derived by her memoirs.Of course, the government is not above protecting a killer to aid the war effort.

This an odd sort of film. There is nothing specially good about it. The acting, the production, the effects and even the plot are all somewhat mediocre. Yet it has its moments. Setting a Jack The Ripper sort of story against the London blitz is unique in itself. But the intriguing aspect is that they have combined some pretty gory scenes with an offbeat sort of humour. I'm not sure whether it's a war movie, a murder mystery or a comedy. Maybe a bit of each. Not a great film by any means. Yet it's something different and we enjoyed it. Was this perhaps inspired by Foyle's War? It also had the look of a pilot for a planned TV series that never happened.

"I know - let's cross Foyle's War with Silent Witness. It can't fail!" That's the crass idea behind this - the only idea behind it. Patrick Kennedy even looks like Michael Kitchen's younger brother and his character has a similar phlegmatic approach to crime solving. What a pity Tamzin Merchant is not a patch on Honeysuckle Weeks. It might just have worked if it hadn't been so creakily wooden, if the fake bomb sites hadn't had obvious cardboard bits, if the CGI had been a bit more convincing and if they hadn't resorted to gratuitous gore - but I suppose they had to put that in as part of their homage to Silent Witness. It might yet find its feet, but it's a poor testimony to the creativity of British TV. Scandinavia and the USA are bursting with good ideas. What went wrong in the UK?
