Ignore the other reviews, they have been written by friends and family of the show on crack.

It's awful. Truly awful. Terrible casting, poor script and predictable scenes.

In fairness, the production is good. But everything else has Sunday night, 8pm, written all over it.

This kind of show would have worked well in the 90s. However, it's now a tired and predictable format. And I hate to dig out an actor, but Goode doesn't work as this character, he doesn't have the gravitas or the range (huh - like I know what I'm talking about) Sorry, it's the wrong casting.

I wish I had something positive to say about this show. It could have been excellent. It isn't.

Waste your time watching something else, something that you have to watch. This is the kind of show you should watch while distracted doing cooking, or knitting. Don't worry, you won't miss anything you haven't seen a hundred times before.

Why is this filmed in the dark?

This BBC version works hard to be different from the ITV version shown 4 months earlier. This version takes a different perspective, that of the investigation, which has drawn criticism from other reviewers. This may not mean much to those not in the UK, so look for the Lockerbie drama with Colin Firth.

It's hard to not compare the two especially as they are broadcast so close together. Both highlight how poor security was and leaves questions hanging.

It's a solid docudrama, let down by poor production and awful accents by some usually great actors. And sadly that's all that really matters.

Every time I watch an MNS film, I regret it.

Either cliche'd to death or predictable.

This was terrible. I was convinced it would end with a hypnotist asking where the hostage was. It didn't.

This was awful. Predictable cliche with huge plot holes. So bad that I couldn't believe it got made.

And who is enjoying this nonsense?

It just didn't flow at all. My gf enjoyed it because she didn't have to concentrate. It's like watching your Instagram feed, which maybe why she enjoyed it.

I need another 108 characters to post this "review". However, I can't think of a single redeeming feature of this film so I'll waffle till the end.
