Most helpful review The Diplomat

  • Superb at all levels

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Steven Herwing from Ascot , 07 Apr 2011

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This is a compelling watch, even at 3 hours over the two episodes. Everyone is superb. Watch to the tense ending, you will enjoy this.

  • Terrible

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer from Yorkshire , 21 Nov 2011
    This has little to commend it; the story is stretched out over three hours of unrelenting rubbish. The acting is OTT and it is difficult to have any sympathy for the main characters. It has the qualities of an '80s play with 2000s production values. Slow, dull and tortuous.

  • Gritty crime drama

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By Dungbeetle (503 reviews) from London , 11 Nov 2011
    Australian film shot in London and Sydney mainly. It is in two parts each nearly two hours long. The action scenes are all the more effective as they occur after lengthy character interplay. One of the best Aussie crime dramas in recent years. Not as tense as Animal Kingdom but well directed and keeps your attention. All characters are tightly drawn and well played. I understand an uncut version is available as False Witness.

  • Like Spooks, hate this

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer , 31 Jul 2011
    Plot sounded good but it is far too long and has very little suspense and infrequent action or particularly interesting dialogue. Watch Spooks instead if you like the sound of the official plot of this film.

  • Terrible Movie

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By dosh (10 reviews) from March , 27 May 2011
    Totally poor, could have been so much better; very slow and no ending let alone a middle. Do yourself a favour and avoid!

  • A Very Good Thriller [ if a little long]

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 14 Apr 2011
    I was looking forward to watching this film as I had done fair bit of research reading other reviews and ratings on other websites. What suprised me was the length and two episodes cover a total of nearly 3 hours. I can say I was not disappointed both episodes held you and the main characters were very good. When it becomes a realistic price I will add this dvd to my collection.
