Paul Evans Anthony Horowitz certainly has a creative mind, and when on form he gives us some brilliant productions. His writing was certainly put to good use with Collision. Spread over five parts it tells the story of a motorway pileup, the effects on the lives of the drivers, and the immediate people around them. Collision manages to tick several boxes, there's the mystery of the crash itself, the love story, and the darker elements of human trafficking and murder. The strongest element I'd say are the characters, which are well rounded and believable, each mini story is captivating, in particular Richard's love affair with Coffee shop worker Jane, McGann and Griffiths were among the standouts of the production. It all ties together so neatly, it could have easily lost focus, but it manages to stay cohesive throughout, I especially loved the what if final scenes, a nice and thoughtful touch. Overall it's a very enjoyable series to watch. 8/10
colepteran I'm not going to describe what's going on in the film because others have but I must say this is a keeper.I bought the DVD and have seen it 5 times now. Of course it's easy to watch Douglas Henshall... any time especially his voice.. whew... Story line is believable and the writing is top notch. Incredible film. I have a friend who has trouble hearing things, so I turned on the closed captions . . makes it easier to understand words not familiar to us folks over across the pond from the UK. Top marks, y'all. It's really a great show. Thank you
gs20 While we understand that what we watched was probably one of the numerous truncated versions, we were probably just spared a more lengthy period of boredom because of that fact.Horowitz is a very good writer but the problem begins when the story has to be directed by someone else, in this case, a mediocre, at best, Marc Evans .........mostly a documentary director and way over his head in this.There are not too many writers, and even fewer directors, who can effectively and engrossingly pull off multiple story lines and pull them all together into a coherent and interesting story and display their relationship to each other of the story lines .........Horowitz may be one of those, Evans will never be. There in lies the problem for this slow, ponderous, sleep-inducing effort ..........way too much back story, way too much set-up, way too many relationships, way to many secrets to collate, and a bizarre science fiction ending out of nowhere .........not the usual for Horowitz and way too much to blend into a coherent story by anyone other than maybe Guy Ritchie .........and sadly, Evans is certainly no Guy Ritchie.Due to all this strange conglomeration, it is difficult to say exactly what kind of a story this is ........too bad ........all the ingredients but no recipe.
mar9tin This is not a detective mystery to any great extent, but a police procedural of the type written in the hundreds by John Creasey under a variety of pseudonyms. The end is never in doubt, and indeed, is replayed over and over during the course of dozens of confusing flashbacks. Only halfway through the five hours does it dawn on the detective, assigned in a totally contrived way to the handling of a highway pileup, that something may be out of the ordinary. And indeed everyone involved is hiding something, in good red herring fashion, but the only question is whether that had anything at all to do with causing the accident. Unless you are a transportation safety board employee this is probably not for you, and the money spent on it might have been more fruitfully spent on having the producers' heads examined.
