Product: The Sandbaggers Collection Set 1
Rating: 5.0
Tense, exciting thriller...video at its best!
This is a phenomenal series; it follows the exploits of the Director of Operations (Roy Marsden) and his special ops agents, the "Sandbaggers" at the British Secret Service. Taking place in the late 1970s, in captures the paranoid world of the late cold war. The writing is superb, the acting excellent and plots are taught and thrilling. It is both a traditional spy thriller and an unusual depiction of the sharp elbows needed to succeed in government service.One negative is that is was shot primarily with video cameras, but the less than stellar film quality is a small trade off for this exciting, delightful gem. Watch this series; you will wish they had filmed many more episodes!
