Review

i was a big fan of the show when i was young so the movie was a nice prospect. the key, i think, to the dynamic is having the murdock character be solid. here he’s played by sharlto copley who did a really good job in district 9 and does another good job here in a completely different role. he keeps it light and that’s critical to the tone of the series as well as the film. they’ll likely do another as i expect this one to do fairly well and they have a fine core of established talent and up and comers. the next one should be a bit shorter. was kinda interesting to see how the crew first came together. seemed to differ from the narrative given at the beginning of the show, but i guess it was never explicit – i just assumed that they knew each other while serving in nam. does the tv series justice.
