this be basically just a rehash of the novel sharpe tiger and with some minor recasting with sergeant hakeswill a sergeant bickerstaff and the tippoo a major dodd and and lieutenant lawford a harper . but in the book and the point of infiltrate the fortress be to rescue colonel mccandless and who know about that mine plant in the western wall . because the new plot be to rescue some girl and it just doesn not hold up . and historically and there be no major uprising in india after the napoleonic war and so any historical accuracy be out the window . sean bean and darugh o malley and toby stephen all do well and but any time one of the girl or that french guy open their mouth i just think you probably should have do more than one take of that scene . i like the flashback to sharpe triumph when sharpe be almost kill by dodd and but the idea that dodd would have be allow to live for 14 year be just ridiculous . equally a ridiculous be the idea that the french would help sharpe not 3 year after waterloo . the explosion be fabulous and the production value be the high they have be for any sharpe and but the story and script and and support actor be the weak they have ever be . if only they would do sharpe devil instead . this get a b or b .
