Rated - 4 starsGripping and compulsive viewing

A customer from West Drayton , 28/03/2005

I had no idea what this was about when I rented it and I watched it with an open mind. It took a little while to prove it's credibility but I was fascinated by the balance of events and Intelligent Service interplay in London and the USA. It shows the depth of Moslem Extremeist involvement and the ease of their operation with everyday life. Well worth watching -you will want to see the lot!'

Rated - 3 starsFailed To Live Up To Its Early Promise

The Boy from St Albans , 11/05/2005

This was very good at the start. It set the scene well, had a explosive start and dropped in some intriguing characters. After that, it just petered out into a bit of an elongated squib. The CIA girl was worth watching 6 hours worth for alone, although (and I think that it would have been integral to the plot, had she been persuaded) she failed to shed any of her clothing, so we failed to see her in the Hilary Duff (buff). That is a shame, as I thought that she was gorgeous and probably had a great rack of norks.

Rated - 4 starsVery Good

A customer from essex , 07/06/2005

How can the guy above give this film one star when he hasnt even watched it. If he is stupid enough to order discs he doesnt want I think that says it all.

I thought The Grid was great and would recommend it to anyone. It is very refreshing after so many Hollywood blockbusters with overpaid actors and massive effects budgets.

Rated - 5 starsThe best thing I have seen in a long time

A customer from Scotland , 30/06/2005

Well what can I say... This has got to be the best drama or film I have seen in ages. Its gripping if a little slow at the start and ends in a complete professional product that you would expect from the BBC and FOX.

Rent this, its not a film but if you like 24 even a little you will like this, infact the story is far better than 24 which seems to repeat every couple of hours.

Very much cutting edge with technology although a little unrealistic with the use of Windows for everything.

Its only down side seems to be the introduction of all the characters at the beginning of the film, there are far too many and it does get annoying but once a few drop off you get the hang of who's who.

Initally I thought this was a film and was slightly dissapointed when I realised it was'nt but i still watched it and I glad I did, what a mistake that would have been.

Think I will get this again, great dvd great drama

Excellent piece of work. Well written, good plot and pretty good acting. Tails off a little, but excellent on the whole.
