Descripción del producto

Exclusive. Right from the get-go, when Sean Bean ("Sharpe, GoldenEye") leaps from a speeding train and escapes into the night, this unpredictable thriller grabs your attention and hangs on tight. Somewhat reminiscent of the '60s TV classic "The Fugitive", it follows Neil Byrne at a breakneck pace through an underground labyrinth of organized crime and sinister government agencies. Throw in a torrid romance, and the result is a spellbinding tale acted, directed, and produced by British TV's best. 4 hours on 2 cassettes or 1 DVD.

I have watched this mini-series many times on streaming services. I have now bought a DVD. Why? Because I know that what comes to a streaming service will leave. I didn't want to be in a situation where I wouldn't have access to this excellent series/film.

It's very British, in that it's not splashy or flashy. It takes its time to develop plot points and characters where that time is needed. Even secondary and minor characters are given nice moments in which to shine. If you look closely, you'll see actors you know, including Ron Donachie (who played Rodrik Cassel on "Game of Thrones") and Lesley Nichol (who plays Mrs. Patmore on "Downton Abbey"). And, of course, Sean Bean who's been in many things. The film is full of terrific performances.

If you have trouble with UK accents, ranging from various Northern accents to Scottish, all I can say is I wish the DVD had closed captions for you. This was made for a UK market, so no allowances for US ears were made.

The miniseries does reward repeated watchings, though. The intricacies of the plot and the machinations of the characters (trust me, no one is what he or she seems to be) keep on revealing themselves.

There is a bit of nudity, some implied sexual activity, and some moderately graphic violence.

Fast paced and very well acted. (It helps to have read a synopsis to sort out the characters.) Leading roles are very well done and several minor characters superb. This is an action film that can be watched over and over - the denouement does not spoil subsequent viewings.

This was a British TV mini-series, and feels like it!

None the less, it isn't bad, with the characteristic English understatement.

It is good value, as it is long, and not available on R2 DVD. Turn off the brain, and enjoy it for the action.

Very well done. Fine acting, solid story line and overall well done. If you love a mystery and cheering for the underdog, go for it.

Extremely Dangerous is a 1999 British suspense thriller starring (and indeed created for) Sean Bean (Sharpe, Catherine Cookson's The Fifteen Streets, James Bond's Golden Eye). Bean plays Neil Byrne, a man convicted of the horrific slaying of his wife and child at their home in Manchester. Having spent a couple of years in prison, Byrne has been granted a transfer to a different prison. It is during the train journey to the new prison that Byrne manages to escape, jumping off the train. Now a fugitive, Byrne (who claims to be innocent) returns to Manchester, ostensibly to discover what really happened and who set him up (and why), and it is this process of discovery, together with the curve balls, pit falls, twists and turns that occur along the way, that comprise this 200-minute story.
The opening sequence (ie. the escape from the train en route to a prison) and the initial premise (ie. a man accused of slaying his wife and child) is very similar to that of the Harrison Ford film entitled The Fugitive. Whether or not the rest of the show is in essence a remake of The Fugitive or not, I cannot say, as it's been years since I saw the latter film.
With a mix of gangsters and government agents, in addition to the police, this is a suspense drama with a good storyline (of which I shall say no more, as I don't wish to give anything away). It requires close attention, as there is some subtlety in the method of presentation, with the viewer occasionally having to make connections that are not explicitly spelled out for him or her. Even with close attention paid, it is still a series which benefits from repeated viewings. The series is split into four 50-minute episodes. Initially, I watched it over four evenings, but I strongly suggest viewers watch it over no more than two evenings (at most) in order to keep the characters and plot straight.
Apart from Sean Bean, the show also stars Juliet Aubrey (Catherine Cookson's The Moth, Bertie and Elizabeth) as Annie, the daughter of one gangster and girlfriend of another. Though this is a drama, there is some welcome comic relief (of a very dry and ironic nature) provided by the Pakistani owner of a mini-cab agency (played by Nitin Ganatra) with whom Byrne finds employment. Personally, my favourite scenes are those between Bean and Ganatra.
All in all, this was an enjoyable mini-series, and it is certainly worth checking out if you're a fan of suspense drama in general or of Sean Bean in particular.

Well-written, fast-paced thriller, and very well-acted -- all the characters, not just the "stars", have depth and dimension. One of the best-made tv-movies I have ever seen.

This movie promises a lot and it delivers... sort of.
For anyone who is interested (as I was) what this film is rated, it is definitely R. I bought this movie reluctantly because I couldn't find it to rent or discover what it was rated. I hoped for the best, but was disappointed by all of the unnecessary bedroom scenes of which I think there were at least four or five.
The principal character Neil Byrne (Sean Bean) is intriguing and the storyline keeps you guessing as much from the twists as from the barely intelligible British accents. As a study of British accents it is interesting.
Everyone in the interviews raved about the female lead, but I thought she was kind of deadpan and uninteresting. Sort of like Julia Ormond in Sabrina and First Knight. I think that the Indian cab driver made the scenes in which he appeared seem more human and less contrived.
I can't remember if the soundtrack was any good which is saying something, because I normally have my radar on for that sort of thing.
The action/fight scenes are pretty cool, but I had to laugh at how the hero is portrayed whenever he gets back to his apartment: Shirtless. This fact alone makes the point of the movie quite obvious. This isn't an enduring classic that causes you to better yourself. It is simply another piece of crowd-pleasing trash that appeals to one's emotions and senses by turns. There is no elevated sentiment to be found in this film unless it is that of Neil's desperate search to find out what happened to his loved ones.
It was a complete waste of my limited time and so, rather than inflict my DVD on someone else, I believe I am going to throw it away.

Il soggetto è interessante, i dialoghi si intrecciano all'azione, un po' difficile comprendere il ruolo dei personaggi secondari all'inizio, ma si segue molto bene la vicenda principale, commovente e ricca di tensione. Tutti gli interpreti recitano benissimo, un vero sollievo rispetto a molti prodotti italiani. Sean Bean è un protagonista talmente forte da catalizzare l'attenzione su tutta la vicenda senza cadute di tono.

5.0 de 5 estrellas One or two holes in the plot - but otherwise very, very good.
Calificado en el Reino Unido el 9 de junio de 2013
Make no mistake, this is a tough, gritty and often violent 4-part series (originally made for ITV). If what you prefer is high-speed action and constant adrenalin rushes, then maybe this won't be for you as the tension is built gradually throughout the 200 minutes running time. However, there are frequent bursts of action as Bean's character searches for the truth of his family's massacre and, in so doing, slowly threatens, unravels and undermines the power of a Manchester gang. There IS a lot of dialogue at times, but this all helps to create the growing feeling of tension and also helps to make even the most devious or evil characters believable. All-in-all this is first class entertainment with just the occasional splash of dark humour to lighten the mood. (Especially between Bean as 'Spanish John' and his temporary boss in the taxi cab firm).

There ARE similarities with 'The Fugitive, but this is in no way a rip-off or a UK-based version. The resolution is entirely different and despite there being a few holes in the plot and I was never totally convinced about the style or structure of the code in the 'Patagonia' book - but that's a small gripe in the context of how the story unfolds.

On reflection then, I have no problems recommending this series if what you like are expertly made and acted British crime thrillers. This has to be one of the best ones made in recent years.

I am not certain whether I would like to be aquainted to the script writer or to the movie director who produced this piece of "movie theatre". The director is a woman... The content is horribly cruel (particularly during the verbal ending sequence when the killer expresses surprise that - while slicing up the baby - it did not cry any louder during the process! His explanation : possibly a shock effect!!!) and it could be possible that the illustrated cuelty and contemptuous crushing of adults and children or babies for money is intentionally - in order to provoke WHAT??? Pleasure of entertainment? Do we need this???
I could not get to terms with this movie and believe it's horrible.
