Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
alvram-64335 I adore Brit Crime series, but alas, this is not one of them. The crime procedural takes a back seat to preachiness, to dramatic, soap opera theme which has the actors acting more as police or soldiers, or cage fighters or whatever the themes of that episode is. Moreso, the episodes could have a massacre or a horrible crime, but it didn't matter because it was about central character dramatic, emotional feelings, and not about the crime. "It's all about me" is quite central and true in this series. I went from liking Emilia Fox to despising her entirely. Skip this one.There's too many exceptional, Brit crime series to watch this waste of time.
h-christen Good series, well acted, interesting cases, but:Possible spoilers!There is however one thing that bothers me. From the start it has been a series about forensics and pathology. But from a certain point, especially the seasons with Nikki and Jack, there seems to be a tendency to give all the credits to the forensic analyst and pathologist. Jack seems to be a detective too! He goes with the detective in the field all the time. A job that should be the detective's partner's job... He goes running after suspects, arresting them with handcuffs (since when do laboratory guys do that?, well since CSI probably), has better ideas than the detectives, making the detectives an extension of forensics instead of the other way around... and making them a bit laughable, "wow, didn't the detective see that coming?"...But if you can see through all this deviation from reality, it is an exciting series.Of course there are also unbelievable aspects, like we see in other series. Pollen, micro organisms or special metals in a ground sample taken from a car's tyre lead them to dig exactly in the right place.A thing taken from other series perhaps: there has to be a "weird" person in the team, Clarissa, Sorry Liz Carr, nothing personal, I like you in the series!Criminal minds has two of them, Dr Spencer Reid and Penelope, Bones has Zack, NCIS has Abby, NCIS New Orleans has Patton (Mitchell) in a wheelchair and I could go on...But despite of all that, I watched all 20 seasons with pleasure...
lorraineesimpson Silent Witness is a good British crime drama. The acting is decent, the scripts are okay(but sometimes verge on dodgy), and it keeps you interested in the story. As in all good crime dramas it's often quite difficult to accurately guess 'whodunnit'. However I'm stunned to read some of the other reviewers who describe it as realistic. Realistic?!? I don't think so ... I'm sure Forensics and pathology is a hugely interesting and rewarding career, exciting in it's own way. I'm also equally sure that they don't assume control of police investigations, interrogate suspects and get so embroiled in the culprits or victims private lives that they often find themselves staring down the barrel of a gun or two. In this respect it's hugely unrealistic - almost as unrealistic as the thought that anyone as whiny, interfering and annoying as Dr Nikki Alexander (played by Emilia Fox) wouldn't have been locked in a laboratory cupboard and forgotten about just to give everyone some respite.
dannycboon I have been a great fan of the Silent Witness TV show, not seen the very first ones but began with the Nikki episodes, as i will call them for convenience matter. i always found it entertaining, thriller or exciting but this year was a complete disaster, the story lines where just complete dull. the crew and the cast where surely doing there best but it feels like some people have start digging in the BBC Attic took some plot lines from Older episodes of Silent witness maybe even from other Detective shows and just changed names and locations.maybe the 15 season that aired in 2012 wasn't also that good but at least we got Harry to save the day,Tom Ward has given his Harry so much charisma that even the most stupidest episode is and was watchable, this season Harry is not in it, he left to new york Apparently and we didn't even got a chance to say goodbye. this time he has been replaced buy someone who has just as much charisma as a Lego doll, OK well maybe i am bit hard now on David Caves as that seems to be his real life name, but he is just not convincing to me as a forensic scientist or whatever he supposed to be. and there is no chemistry between him and Nikki and a little between him and Leo. As his character Jack says "I will always be the new guy" this is also the feeling that i have when i watch the show. they also added a new Female character, Clarisa to the show, she is OK although she looks not really healthy (as i say this in a concerning way) only i don't see i real value here for the show.While Harry's absence is a great lost, to make matters worse they also decided to blow Leo Dalton to Kingdome come in the Final episode of this season (and they didn't even sent Harry an invitation for the funeral)"Silent Witness will return next year." Please BBC leave those forensics alone and move on because a once so great show has become bloody awful.
