A very interesting example of a historical adventure film. It would seem that there is nothing that special about it - the budget is small, there are, of course, no special effects, there are not enough extras to create the appearance of more or less large-scale battles, the plot is also not something extraordinary... But - it feels genuine.
But why? Partly - due to a very good writing, in the best traditions of adventure films, with good jokes, sometimes unpredictable twists, the possibility of which are only hinted at, in order to reveal all the cards at the end; partly due to very authentic costumes and scenery. And partly due to the amazing actors, of course.
All the characters are well developed, colorful, and the actors themselves are a delight with their performances. Of course, Sean Bean is especially pleasing - his charisma rushes through the screen, it's as if he was created for this role of the good bad guy Sharpe - he looks so organic.
Dara O'Malley, who plays Harper, is also quite memorable. For some reason, his character gave me a feeling of deja vu, but a very pleasant one.
But be that as it may, this does not prevent me from watching all episodes of the series, while receiving genuine pleasure from watching a high-quality and interesting adventure movie.
