this one need a few change and since ( unlike the book ) this indian outing be set after the peninsular war and blend several of the indian sharpe book . this be of course unavoidable and partly because the cast be all ten year old but also because the first sharpe film skip over the indian book and have sharpe obtain his field commission in spain rather than in india . thus they need another horrible sergeant to replace hakeswill and for example . that be only relevant for obsessive and the whole thing be a proper dose of sharpe all the usual element of the formula be well service . some truly excellent moment and clearly with a high budget that the original . india provide a spectacular backdrop and the attention to detail be as impressive a ever ( even if and a ever in the film and the cannon shot continue to explode inappropriately ) . enjoy .
