Good Movie, Bad Release
You'd think a film with historical value would receive better treatment..After all this film contains a early performance of Harvey Keitel and co-stars Jon Lyndon (Johnny Rotten). This review is NOT of the movie itself which is good and Rotten is cute as a button. Acting is good, story is good, What is not good of course, is the DVD itself. Poor transfer, full screen only, all foul language removed, censored scenes as if it were dubbed for afternoon network television. , no care given to it's release at all. Get it for your collection BUT be aware of the quality, or LACK there-of of the DVD release itself. Very sad.

Needless reworking but watchable
1 of 1 found this helpful This BBC version, stretched out a bit to make it a mini-series, took quite a few unwarranted liberties with the work. The addition of characters and character behavior was distasteful. Why the writer thought this needed is beyond me. Changing the chief "Bleeding heart" from Mr Brownlow to his "niece" Rose was off-putting. and the "bringing to the screen" of Edward Monks was understandable but distracting. Nancy and Bill are played very very well by the girl and Tom Hardy, the two of them save this adaptation fro complete ruin. Oliver doesn't seem as vulnerable in this adaptation as others. It's certainly watchable, but can be off-putting if you are use to a better version. The best being the Roman Polanski version from 2005, which does everything right. You certainly should pick up that version, it's shorter of course, being a movie as opposed to a mini series, but it's just about perfect. so be sure check for it, if I could have Tom Hardy playing Bill in that one it would have been complete magic, even more than it is. This version is watchable however, and certainly worth having, but as it stands, the Polanski version remains the best version made to date. Mostly due to the alterations to many of the characters ties and behavior. It's just not a true adaptation but a "Reworking". And Oliver Twist needs no reworking.

Cut edited version.
Be careful with this movie, the company, Mirimax, slashed this movie without the director's permission down to an 87 minute film. The actual director's cut is 108 minutes and very expensive, so it may be the only thing you can find, but be aware this 87 minute version has most of the actual film core cut out. Be aware of what you are buying !!!
