The acting is splendid, it has a dour, sober quality and boasts an authentic period feel. Sort of "Masterpiece Theatre" meets Dostoevsky.

Rated: 3.5/5

The first half hour was great, but then the tension dropped off and the rest of the film felt a bit drawn out and meandering . Excellent performance from the cast and some very nice sets.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Excellent movie, sort of a shortened Shakespearean TV production. Don't pass up a chance to see it.

Serious British television drama from the French post second world war scene, about the balances between life and death, belief and deception, denial and regret. A good psychological plot with some unexpected turns, making it quite gripping. Very theatrical in it's form, but with solid acting performances and cinematography.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The Tenth Man is a worthy movie. It is easy to see how the decisions were made by the various characters, even though the outcomes were not at all what was expected.
