sean bean be great and a be the photography and location and costume . however and the plot be somewhat muddled and and the conclusion flat . the plot have be substantially alter from cornwell novel and and not to the good . unfortunately and this adventure be much well read than watch . sharpe be too narrowly draw here and in contrast with his literary alter ego and who seem more intelligent and determine despite his apprehension in his new role a an officer promote from the rank . i really enjoy the brief scene in which sharpe be trip by a real officer and and after a quick pause and piercing stare and push the surprised and cowed officer right back . it set the tone for his late trial a a commanding officer . rating represent 4 of 10 .
