Inspector Morse - The Day Of The Devil

When John Peter Barrie escapes from a maximum security mental institution, the police assign all available resources to finding him. Barrie is a dangerous sex offender known as the Devil's Disciple. Morse is assisted by Barrie's psychiatrist, Dr. Esther Martin. Barrie contacts Morse and they begin a deadly game of cat and mouse. When Morse refuses to play the game Barrie's way, the madman kidnaps a woman and demands that Dr. Martin be held for a future exchange. As the investigation proceeds, Morse believes Barrie has accomplices in the area but after a local cultist is killed, he realizes he has been looking in wrong direction all along.

Give this a miss - especially if you like Morse

I am a fan of Morse and have enjoyed every other episode I have seen. However, this one is pretty atrocious. The plot is laughable and could have been written by a teenager - and the script is truly dreadful - what on earth was Danny Boyle thinking? All the characters are straight out of bad horror novels and the actors are forced to deal with bloated and stagey dialogue. Plus, Keith Allen just can't act. Overall very disappointing. If you enjoy good crime drama watch any Morse other than this one.

Good Morse

I guessed early on who it must be (if only because this person was among the most unlikely!). The context of the mystery is bizarre but not too overstated - which helps you go along with it at least to some extent. It's only at the end of the film that one begins to realise how unlikely it all is. So: good fun - at least to the extent to which a MURDER can ever be 'good fun'. (But there's always this about Morse and anything similar: MURDER isn't much fun, actually.)
