Am I Missing Something?

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

All in all it was very good. I have seen it twice and on the second time didn't recognise the killer till half and hour from the end..... My little criticism concerns the identification parade. When the parade is done behind darkened glass, there is no way it can be done unless the suspect is legally represented to insure fair play. They is absolutely no way that any legal representative would allow Melcalfe to accompany is deaf wife during the proceedings. He was in an ideal position to inform his wife of the suspects number. She should have been accompanied by a proper interpreter. Any evidence gained at the parade would have been a waste of time. The rules are that any officer involved in the investigation is not even allowed to be in the same building !!

I wondered about several things whilst watching this.1. How come two of the police officers held their ranks after the first film; Red Metcalfe had to confess to the hit-and-run accident which spawned the first killings and Neil Dudgeon's character had been suspended for revealing details of the investigation to the press. How come they hadn't been drummed out of the force?2. Vincent Regan's character here is an inspector, yet he is seen about 15 years earlier, as an inspector, when he could only just have been old enough to have joined the force! Even if he had joined early and risen to inspector very quickly, how come he is still an inspector after 15 years?3. How could a tiny woman like Emily Joyce have killed all those men in such a physically demanding manner?!4. Metcalfe is sometimes seen having to sign to his deaf wife, because she can't lipread, but sometimes just speaking to her, indicating that she can. Make your mind up!

This is the first Messiah I have seen, and I found it really excellent. You would be hard pushed to find something more gruesome but nonetheless as gripping as this.**Definite spoiler ahead**. I am a big devotee of British TV and I was pleased to see Neil from The Office and Vincent Regan, who I only know from Hard Men, in something else. It was great trying to guess who the killer was, but who would have thought that Thermoman's lovely little girlfriend could do all those things?It was mentioned at the laundry that the planning for all the murders was meticulous, but how was she strong enough to get Jenny Collier into one of those sacks and up on the track, and why was she so determined that Russ Collier should suffer so much? I mean he hadn't done anything to her. Also how had she figured out so exactly who the real murderers were in each case? Why was there no mention of a daughter in the original Heard case? I felt these points weren't quite explained enough. But maybe I'm just a bit dim. Nevertheless, a damned good scary tale!!

Messiah 2 continued where the previous left off,the script and story were spot on with a plot equal to todays serial atrocities.ken stott again delivered the goods as our lead in a gruesome tale,with a stellar cast to help him (neil dudgeon especially)one can only hope the bbc have more planned.
