Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This series presents an old theme - how hatred and violence breed only more of the same, like some monster feeding on itself - but in a taut thriller based on the novel by Gerald Seymour and backed up by the doleful music of Clannad before they really became famous. In fact, their Theme from Harry's Game put them on the map and has been a favorite ever since, reappearing briefly but quite deftly in Harrison Ford's Patriot Games.
The series starts off with an intimate look at a youthful English PM having breakfast with his young family and then heading off for work. As he climbs into his car, from a distant perch a sniper kills him and the hunt is on for the Irish assassin. Harry is a Army special ops intelligence officer tasked with infiltrating the IRA to identify the killer. Since he is so deep undercover, the police and the Army don't know he's working against the IRA. They think he too is the enemy. He's in danger from both sides until the drama plays itself out in a realistic but unhappy ending.
I'm writing this review in hopes that the powers that be will consider issuing the DVD in a Region 1 format. The series is really as gripping and compelling as the original Manchurian Candidate or Z and deserves a wider audience.
