CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Majikat From the very start I was completely hooked and Lee Ingleby's acting was such a high standard, the rest of the cast couldn't be faulted either.It's not so much an unguessable ending that makes this such a great drama, but the actor acting of the emotion involved. Brits have been waiting for something like this!

jc-osms From the no-question mark title it's plain that Lee Ingleby's David Collins character has indeed suffered a miscarriage of justice as this 4 part ITV thriller gets under way with him finally being acquitted after three trials of the violent murder of his wife, the apparently flighty, wilful Tara. There's no flashback sequence at any stage of the proceedings so the viewer is kept in the dark pretty much all the way through as to who was the culprit.From there on, in time-honoured Agatha Christie fashion, an array of suspects are paraded in full view, all apparently with motive, opportunity and busted alibis before the eventual murderer emerges as if from nowhere (although I correctly called out their identity long before the end). There are the expected sub-plots required to flesh out the four hour viewing time, including a tug-of-love between Collins and his estranged sister and brother in law over his children who they've more or less adopted as their own in his absence but who also benefited from Tara's demise as it extinguished a debt of money she had lent them for their failed IVF treatment and who also got to live in the dead woman's house, a souring romance between the newly appointed female police investigator and her boyfriend predecessor who is convinced that Collins was guilty all along and the disintegration of a marriage between Collins' philandering ex-best friend (who's had a fling with Tara) and his younger, now pregnant wife.Like I said I wasn't surprised with the reveal of the murderer's identity, I didn't like the way that the sister and brother in law had the children call them mum and dad nor did I appreciate that cliched relationship between the police detectives which of course doesn't end well.All that said though, it was quite entertaining, fast moving if old fashioned, reasonably well acted and with a fine brooding soundtrack in the background adding atmosphere. Broadchurch it wasn't however.

tnqnik Didnt get a chance till tonight to sit and start watching Innocent. Couldnt step away and found myself watching 4 shows in a row. Riveting to say the least and was happy with the ending. Just watch it :)

ianlouisiana Over - familiar faces,over - familiar plot,dialogue written as if filtered through endless other "I wuz framed"dramas,"Innocent" is reliant on viewers having short memories and a high tolerance of clichés. The amiable Mr Lee Ingleby plays a man jailed for murdering his wife. Did the police tailor the evidence to fit their theory? Did witnesses stitch him up? Did family members conspire to put him away? What were the motives for all this skullduggery? My boredom quotient was soon reached once the "shock" revelation that the D.I. charged with re - investigating the case was in a cosy relationship with the old school copper who screwed up(in one way or another) the first one. In an office full of coppers nobody knew?Nobody would say"Hang on a minute? And the judge assuring the defendant he can't be charged twice for the same offence after being acquitted? Oh yes he can. Mr Ingleby does "anguish" very well.He alone has some depth. Otherwise it's the same old same old. And we'll keep on getting it until TV companies eventually realise that this particular ship has not only sailed but sunk without trace.
