Pluskylang Great Film overall

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

thegulls1 The Brits are famous for casting odd character actors in certain roles-I.e. Robbie Coltrane as Fitz, the Cracker; or, here, David Jason as Inspector Frost. Once installed, you just could not watch anyone else in the role. They are transformed, as we see in the Frost series, when Jason wears his seedy white jacket and red scarf, just like the Frost in the book. Frost is unhappy, too absorbed in his detective work to enjoy life anywhere else, but too non-conformist to be be deeply admired by the Force. The series has now popped up on BritBox and so a Frost Renaissance begins in my household. Can I say: David Jason's facial expressions, verbal cadence and body language are poetry in motion? This is Art at the Picasso level. Jason can do, in one 5-minute sequence, more to demonstrate emotion or frustration than those CSI clowns show in an entire series. And, subtly, too- it doesn't look like acting-it just looks so real. Hail to the Brits for taking the time to produce a polished finished product.I recall one scene, where Frost is informing a Mom that her son was found murdered in a public washroom (face down in pissy water on the floor): I swear-the woman was pock-marked and poorly-dressed in the manner of a lower-class Yorkshire cleaning lady, sobbing her eyes out as Frost gives the details. Everything about her is flabby & unprivileged. How do you do a casting call for such a role? It is decidedly non-glamorous. It looks like the crew walked Jason into a tenement, knocked on a few doors until they found a local who could recite a few lines, and started filming!! Fidelity is what this series offers. Frost is an intriguing guy to watch, as he annoys his subordinates and supervisors, but manages to get results despite taking shortcuts. There's a little Frost in all of us, but sadly, we can't string the record of successes together that would give us immunity from THE MAN.

kikkapi20 I love this show! It's one of the best dramatic shows that I've seen in quite some time, with splashes of humor thrown in for good measure. That's only partly why 'A Touch of Frost' is such a good TV show.avid Jason does the author's character, Jack Frost, justice, with his portrayal. He adds humor and pathos to him, thereby making him that much more of a realistic character and a better policeman overall. That's what gives this show flavor overall -- just seeing that irrelevant humor every now and then, helps to make the show worth watching. The chemistry within the cast is good as well, they seem to get along well and they're all good actors. I look forward to seeing every new episode that comes out on DVD, due to all of that. One of my favorite scenes was in either season nine or ten (pardon me if I got the season wrong -- it's been a while since I've seen them), when Jack got the promotion (even though he threw away the infamous "Grey Mullet" -- that was one of my favorite running gags from that show, it never failed to make me laugh) and as he was leaving the show, everyone saluted him. It was a class act all the way, and I loved how he kept the picture of himself in dress uniform, it showed how much he had grown as a character. Hopefully the new season will come out soon enough on DVD, so I can again watch Frost and company go after the bad guys with class and style.Please bring back the good shows!

thebigeasy555 David Jason's character Inspector Frost is unforgettable.Armed with dry humour,sharp sarcasm and rare chinks of emotion and compassion he goes about investigating cases in his own unorthodox manner.His cavalier attitude to his work often sees him at loggerheads with his superior chief inspector Mullet.The tension between the two is often the catalyst for some comedical moments.What wins you over is the sheer dogged determination of Frost to his work.He is a lonely man,living alone with his work the only thing he devotes his energy into.A far cry from the happy go lucky character Del Boy he played in Only Fools And Horses David Jason excels in his role as the gritty,hard nosed cop determined to get results no matter whos feathers get ruffled.The stories are well written are filled with twists and turns leaving the viewer desperate for Frost to solve the case.A shame if this show was ever to be to cancelled

Sulla-2 I quite Like A touch of Frost and David Jason. It is a good programme to watch but I can't comment without criticising it. Frost does not look or act like a Police Officer. He hates doing paperwork and for this alone he would never have got promoted. Not only is he supposed to be well organised himself, he is also supposed to ensure that his Junior officers do their job properly. How could he possibly be in a position to criticise anyone, Fortunately he always has the reliable DS George Toolan ( who is not listed in the cast list on here )Yes, he is very good at solving crimes and he would make an ideal Detective Constable teamed with an officer who was well organised. I don't like him as a person. He is continually rude and his disrespect for Superintendent Mullet a decent enough man, really annoys me.
