Jekyll (Disc 1 of 2) (2007)
Robert Louis Stevenson's influential tale of terror gets a modern re-imagining in this limited BBC series penned by Steven Moffat (Dr. Who, Coupling) and starring James Nesbitt. The year is 2007, and Dr. Tom Jackson (Nesbitt) just can't seem to reign in his murderous alter ego Mr. Hyde. While the two dueling personalities have stricken up a tenuous agreement to share the same body, the good doctor vows to use every technology at his disposal in order to contain the killer within. By using surveillance equipment and making a veritable deal with his own Devil, Dr. Jackman is certain that he can keep Mr. Hyde in check. But somewhere out there, Dr. Jackman and Mr. Hyde's every move is being monitored by an organization whose limitless wealth is only exceeded by their vast power. It seems that Mr. Hyde is no mistake of science and, much to Mr. Jackman's surprise, a plan hatched over a century ago is finally starting to unfold just like clockwork. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

| This series from the BBC is a HUGE SURPRISE. Great story telling, wonderful acting, and a different take on the JEKYLL & HYDE storyline. I was hooked after the first episode & had to watch the rest at that moment to see what happens. The story line is very interesting and keeps you guessing all the way through. This is for the thinking person who likes to be challenged while on the edge of your seat. The gore is kept to a minimum but the acting and characters are top notch. |
