i find frame to be a pretty entertaining film overall unfortunately and the only version of the film available to me here in the united state be the americanized version of the film . a a british television miniseries and frame clock in at around four hour while the american version on the other hand be somehow edit down to a crispy two hour tv feature . strangely ( and luckily ) enough and that edit process do not make the american version of frame disjoint and odd and or confuse . whether or not it be well or bad than the original miniseries form and the u. s. cut of frame be actually a pretty good film with fine performance from lead actor timothy dalton and david morrissey . vacation in spain and british police sgt . larry jackson ( david morrissey ) think he be see a ghost represent a convict turn informant name eddie myers ( timothy dalton ) who be suppose to have die after escape custody . further investigation by jackson reveals that the man he be see really be myers and jackson orchestrate myers arrest . myers now spend his day with jackson in a police run compound give up his powerful one time criminal accomplice and mess with jackson mind and life . the production value be what one might expect from an early 1990s tv production which be to say and bland but other element make the film worthwhile represent the film story be engross and the acting be very good . david morrissey be a very good lead a sgt . jackson while timothy west give an entertaining turn a jimmy mckinnes and the high ranking police official hell bent on use myers to his full while and ( a dub ) penélope cruz make a nice showing . timothy dalton be the film bright star a myers and dalton be fantastic a this intelligent and high class but dangerous and unpredictable criminal mind . although half of it original material have be cut out and the american version of frame be an entertaining film while but boy would i have like to have see what the other two hour include .
