Sharpe's Rifles is the first of the brilliant Sharpe films, it's not the best but it does a perfect job of setting up the main characters and getting to know them before the other ones. The plot is decent, it lacks a good villain or a huge battle but it's still fine. Interesting to see how Sharpe rose up the ranks and the pushback he got from not only the privileged snobs but also the soldiers who think he's not a proper officer because he's more like one of them.
8/10: Very enjoyable introduction to the series, although the best is yet to come.
