The Tunnel review

Anton van Beek  |  Apr 29, 2014

Smart Anglo-French remake captures the gloom and doom of the Scandinavian original

Based on the hit Scandinavian crime series The Bridge, this Franco-British co-production relocates the action to the Channel Tunnel. Don't let its status as a remake put you off – this is brilliant TV that even fans of the original should enjoy thanks to the high quality of the writing, acting and production. Unfortunately, this set is compromised by only offering 'lossy' 5.1 mixes alongside its LPCM stereo tracks. At least we have no complaints about the 1080i imagery.

The Tunnel, Acorn Media, All-region BD, £30 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 3.5/5
