It's honestly been ages since I've read it. What this does really well is manage a few really solid scares in something made for TV. That in and of itself is pretty rare, at least from this era. <br /><br />I was never a big Starsky and Hutch fan. I remember this being something of a stretch for Soul, though, but he pulls it off well. <br /><br />Idris Elba would make a great Bond. Not only that, it would be worth it the watch racist Bond fans' heads explode from the mere thought of a black James Bond.

Still an entertaining 3 hours.<br /><br />By the way, I never knew of David Soul as anything other than a one-time <a href="http://www.warpedfactor.com/p/famous-people-who-guest-starred-on-star.html" rel="nofollow">"Star Trek"</a> actor (see number 61 on the list). Luckily, I saw "The Wire" first, or Idris Elba would never be anyone other than a "Star Trek" actor to me either (#70). Damn, now I think I need an Idris fix. "Luther" is great, but "The Wire" is some of the best television ever. If he ever did a Bond film, he'd easily be the best one ever judging by his brilliant TV work.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.com
