I love the Sharpe series of books, I know I shouldnt, it's violent, lots of swearing, and sharpe has his way with many a woman, that aside the books are masterfully written, and the recent addition of Sharpe's exploits in India have breathed new life into this great series. The films too are great and the original series boxset still fetches a good price on Ebay, I know Ive been outbid often enough!
So getting to the point Sharpes challenge, I have one question for sharpe fans to think about, did we really need it? The plotline is loosely based on the recent books tracing Sharpes beginnings in India, but it's set after the Napolionic wars?! Anyway Sharpe is requested by Wellington to find Harper, after finding him in India they set about infiltrating the Indian Fortress of Sarangpatan as Deserters, here Sharpe meets Dodds, his nemesis throughout the India Books, and lets say saves the day.
Sean Bean is great, Sharpe is Great, and the production is great, but I really dont think this works. I think that if they were going to cover the India campaigns they really needed a younger actor and set it where it should be, before Sharpes Rifles
