THE
LOWDOWN
Sean
Bean is back as the
award-winning adventure hero,
Sharpe. Two years after the Duke
of Wellington crushes Napoleon
at Waterloo, there is news from
India of a local Maharaja, who
is threatening British interests
there. Wellington sends Sharpe
to investigate on what turns out
to be his most dangerous mission
to date.

When
a beautiful general's daughter
is kidnapped by the Indian
warlord, the tension mounts,
leaving Sharpe no option but to
pursue the enemy right into his
deadly lair. Deep in the heart
of enemy territory he also has
to keep at bay the beautiful but
scheming Regent, Madhuvanthi,
who is out to seduce him. The
fate of an Empire and the life
of a General's daughter lie in
one man's hands...
THE
VERDICT
It's
had been some 9 years since Sean
Bean played up through the ranks
Officer Richard Sharpe in the
action filled Sharpe but boy its
good to have him back. This two
part story is full of trade mark
action and adventure, as the
story opens Sharpe has retired
from fighting running his own
farm and very reluctant to go
back to soldiering.

Go
back he does though and before
you can say another villainous
role by the excellent Toby
Stephens, he is embroiled in a
bitter fight with a turncoat
Colonel. The drama is well up to
usual Sharpe standards and the
production looks just great,
sweeping Indian vistas and high
production values give the piece
a real film look. If you enjoyed
the original series you are
going to love this.
