A Dvd I will watch time and time again April 3, 2008

Review only in relation to the DVD detailed below.

The Fourth Protocol ' Special edition '
Studio: ITV DVD
ASIN: B000NDETQU
DVD Release Date: 21 May 2007
Aspect ratio 2.35:1

If you are reading this then your on the hunt of the best version and you may be puzzled as to how many different versions there is available.

Yes I have been there before.

Now unless you have been living in a cave I am sure you have already seen this film on TV but the normal TV version uses the Aspect ratio 1.85:1 { pan and scan } but you will be glad to note that at least ' this version ' has the better Aspect ratio of 2.35:1 so you don't miss anything.

I don't have a clue how special the other versions are but at least this version is very good value for money.

For example Frederick Forsyth also wrote the screenplay and he and Michael Caine formed a Company to actually make the Film which goes to explain how close it is to the Book.

I just love this Film and really when you have Michael Caine - Ian Richardson -Pierce Brosnan and Ray McAnally { was the main actor in ' A Very British Coup ' } you really could not go wrong.

Frederick Forsyth always goes the extra mile to research his Books and some of his stories have been echoed in Real Life - lets hope Britain never faces the danger that is central to The Fourth Protocol.

Part of the joy in buying this dvd is that you have a full length commentary from Frederick Forsyth and lots of other extras.

Its a Dvd I will watch time and time again.

Locations - Much of the movie was shot in the Bradwell Common district of Milton Keynes, notably the A-frame house from "Homeworld 81". { It is nowhere near RAF Greenham Common cruise missile base. }

GREAT THRILLER October 22, 2007

Great story, well acted.

The Russians are trying to smuggle a nuclear bomb into Britain. Their aim to detonate it near a US airbase, with the blame being put on clumsy American weapon handlers. The plan would see the US removed from the UK and thus give the Russkies a chance to invade Western Europe.

MI5 to the rescue, with Michael (blow the bloody doors off) Caine who defeats the devious plan.

Great film.
