Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A film told in four parts, this drama from the UK stars Helen Baxendale, best known in the US for her guest role as Emily in the NBC comedy "Friends".
Based on a true story, with a script developed from interviews and official documents, the plot follows an RMP (Royal Military Police) soldier through the "Witch Hunt" days of the British Military sweeps for lesbians in their ranks.
The acting here, is dead on, and those expecting a light and carefree "Emily" from "Friends" will be pleasant surprised to see some deliberate and talented acting chops displayed by Baxendale.
Like most all UK based dramas, the production values are high and the supporting cast more than effective. It is Baxendale though, who brings the story of Caroline Meagher, and the many different nuances and shadings of her career and life, to poignant meaning.
I recommend this film highly.
Running Time: 88 minutes.
Not Rated: contains nudity and adult language

Assigned to root out lesbians in the British military, a soldier turns from hunter to prey Helen Baxendale (Cold Feet, Friends) stars as Caroline Meagher, who in the 1980s was an up-and-coming staff sergeant in the Royal Military Police. Caroline eagerly accepts a plum assignment with the Special Investigative Branch. But her task-to root out and interrogate suspected lesbians-becomes a nightmare as she gradually awakens to the truth about her own heart’s desire. Based on a true story, this stirring drama tells a shocking tale of intolerance, of private lives invaded and careers destroyed-all carried out in the name of justice when the only crime is love. Contains strong coarse language
