Diagonaldi Very well executed
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Teddie Blake 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.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Varun Bhakay 'Foyle's War' is an incredible piece of television by Anthony Horowitz. What a series! Michael Kitchen is superbly understated as Foyle, quiet, a man of few words but is never lost in the background. Honeysuckle Weeks is the exact opposite: chirpy, talkative and eager to help as more than a driver. One gets to see a realistic bit of the English countryside and those who think that all Englishpeople have the same accent are in for a bit of a shock. There are good performances from the supporting cast too, especially from Anthony Howell. The production design is by-and-large period-appropriate. The writing is top-notch. It can get easy to get sucked into a bit of a cycle while writing a detective show but Horowitz goes after every possible crime: from murder to war profiteering. He adds compelling central characters for each episode and has sensible sub-plots through the series. 'Foyle's War' is like wine. Gets better with each passing episode.
raymond-70 Foyle's War is a very good detective series which also gives fascinating insights into life in England during and shortly after the Second World War. In my opinion it is very well written and portrayed. With one exception i enjoy everything about it immensely: With few exceptions everyone in it are portrayed as heavy smokers and there is no event in it that is not a good excuse for having a cigarette – something that i am sure that the tobacco industry is very happy about. I am fully aware that smoking was much more accepted then, but i believe that it is totally unnecessary to furnish that despicable industry with advertisement.
fearthebowlink Want to be transported back to the 1940's and a little bit of the Cold- War era? Want a touch of crime and corruption? Want a super awesome detective and his fantastic sidekick(s)? Well you have come to the right place!Foyle's War is everything that I was looking for in a TV series. Drama, a bit of romance, and best of all: an exciting new mystery every episode. I could go on and on about this fantastic series, but I would end up spoiling everything. From it's wonderful acting to it's superb and complex plots, 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Clothahump A very good whodunnit!Excellent acting, but the thing that impresses me the most is the quality of the writing. Every episode, my wife and I try to figure out who's gonna get whacked and who will do the whacking within the first five minutes. More than half the time, we'll get one or the other. Rarely do we get both. The rest of the time, we get pitched a very clever curve ball or two that totally makes us facepalm ourselves when the good Inspector lowers the boom on the bad guy(s).I wish there were more episodes. This is a very high quality show, one of the few quality shows made lately.
