I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Just by chance I watched the very last episode of M2 on TV yesterday evening. At the beginning, I cannot tell exactly whether it's a USA or UK production because the language is not specific. Then I found out it was filmed in Northern Ireland with American actors. Demystified.I need to track down the first few episodes, and I am also waiting for M3 as the local TV channel promised, then I can draw a fairer conclusion later. Solely on this episode, the plot is predictable and a little out-of-moded. What attracts me is that I wanted to see how the revenge would be done. When Anna (Sara) threatened to end the life of Duncan's boy, I thought, just like in most US TV series, she would stab the scissors into his neck, kick him from high and try to flee. When she let him off, I thought she would be running off. She did none of them, instead she stabbed her own neck and fell down in front of Duncan and Red. She did it out of despair, I suppose, when she was told her ex-judge father protected his male lover all through his life but not her.When hatred enters and harbours in a heart, if it is not released, it festers and grows stinkingly. The avenging angel (devil?) Anna finally loses almost everything but the hurt she did on Duncan. I don't see any salvation in this "Messiah", I need to dig out why it is titled as such. I hope M3 will come sooner and see how the "promise" is fulfilled. Now what I should do is to look for M1, it should be interesting to see how Michelle Forbes manage to learn sign language within six days.

I wondered about several things whilst watching this.1. How come two of the police officers held their ranks after the first film; Red Metcalfe had to confess to the hit-and-run accident which spawned the first killings and Neil Dudgeon's character had been suspended for revealing details of the investigation to the press. How come they hadn't been drummed out of the force?2. Vincent Regan's character here is an inspector, yet he is seen about 15 years earlier, as an inspector, when he could only just have been old enough to have joined the force! Even if he had joined early and risen to inspector very quickly, how come he is still an inspector after 15 years?3. How could a tiny woman like Emily Joyce have killed all those men in such a physically demanding manner?!4. Metcalfe is sometimes seen having to sign to his deaf wife, because she can't lipread, but sometimes just speaking to her, indicating that she can. Make your mind up!

This is the first Messiah I have seen, and I found it really excellent. You would be hard pushed to find something more gruesome but nonetheless as gripping as this.**Definite spoiler ahead**. I am a big devotee of British TV and I was pleased to see Neil from The Office and Vincent Regan, who I only know from Hard Men, in something else. It was great trying to guess who the killer was, but who would have thought that Thermoman's lovely little girlfriend could do all those things?It was mentioned at the laundry that the planning for all the murders was meticulous, but how was she strong enough to get Jenny Collier into one of those sacks and up on the track, and why was she so determined that Russ Collier should suffer so much? I mean he hadn't done anything to her. Also how had she figured out so exactly who the real murderers were in each case? Why was there no mention of a daughter in the original Heard case? I felt these points weren't quite explained enough. But maybe I'm just a bit dim. Nevertheless, a damned good scary tale!!

Messiah 2 continued where the previous left off,the script and story were spot on with a plot equal to todays serial atrocities.ken stott again delivered the goods as our lead in a gruesome tale,with a stellar cast to help him (neil dudgeon especially)one can only hope the bbc have more planned.
