The BBC mini-series is far better.

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2020)

One wishes the Beeb has the budget these guys had the miniseries would have been even better still. But where the Beeb had not much money it did have 8 or so hours to tell the story. And it's the lack of time that really hurts this movie. It's just too long a story to tell in a little over two hours. Too bad Netflix wasn't a big thing in 2010... perhaps smileys people can be done that way.
