This installment in the career on Richard Sharpe is possibly the best of the series.
It is a mix of terrible leadership, outstanding battle scenes, and bitter rivalry between officers.
Sean Bean is perfect as Sharpe, but this film lacks the beauty of Elizabeth Hurley, who appeared in Sharpe's Enemy, later in the series.
