This is by Brian Tallerico, writing for Rogerebert.com. Also, check out the pic of Adrien Brody in the chains. I'm wondering if they did any research at all about the cuffs of the period.

Thanks for the post. It will be shown Labor Day weekend on the History Channel. From the review it does not look very good. Too bad. The History Channel has lost so many opportunities to some real history and still tell a good story. I wonder how many pairs of Darcies we will spot.

John, great review and having watched the series I totally agree with your comments. I could imagine my friends who are Houdini specialists trying not to throw up.

Thanks Ron. I'm still very split on the two parts. I dislike Part I, but I like Part II. There is going to be an extended edition released on DVD with 26 extra minutes. Curious how that will play. Could change the whole thing.

I didn't care much for part 1 either. I skipped part 2 and watched something else. But based on what John Cox said, I'm somewhat sorry I didn't watch part 2. Hopefully the series will run again sometime in the near future and I'll watch part 2.

The previous message was left by me. Somehow my initials got lost in the response.

For French (and German I presume), this movie, available up to September, 28th. I don't known if this "Replay TV" works for others countries without VPN.
