Edited down to 2 hours from the original trio of hour long television episodes for American distribution, author Mark Billingham's Thorne: Sleepyhead is a bit of a hit & miss, more so than it already was in it's versions.
David Morrissey works wonders with his role, never seeming like a police officer and more the criminal, while Aidan Gillen, Eddie Marsan and Natascha McElhone earn respect for their performances. Sadly, the story is rushed, there's some ridiculous moments, crime drama cliches galore and nothing quite gels together properly. However, it will keep you guessing right up to the end and that's what keeps you from giving up entirely.
3 annoying voice-overs out of 5
