From the Austin Film Society: Based on the 2006 award-winning British two-part mini-series of the same name, "Low Winter Sun" is a contemporary story of murder, deception, revenge and corruption in a world where the line between cops and criminals is blurred. "Low Winter Sun" begins with the murder of a cop by a fellow Detroit detective, Frank Agnew (Mark Strong, Zero Dark Thirty). Seemingly the perfect crime, in reality the murder activates forces that will forever alter the detective's life, and pull him into the heart of the Detroit underworld. Filmed on location in Detroit, this gritty and provocative crime drama explores the city's many contradictions...

See, now I'm torn. This looks good and then I see it's based on a British original. I always find I like the European original versions of things better that the US remakes. It also irritates me that the US producers rely so heavily on copying instead of coming up with something different.

I would start with the British version and decide from there but it doesn't seem to be on Netflix.

I'm with you, Kelt. I usually prefer the UK originals and/or versions too (though our Law & Order is better than theirs, IMHO), but this version of LWD was good. I doubt it's as good as the original, but it was good. I saw Detroit on film in a way I've never seen it (I know Detroit well). Detroit is a city of extremes—literally and figuratively—and they show the extremes very well. Sometimes to stunning affect, I thought.

The storyline is interesting, the acting is good (especially Lennie James, the brother who's a British actor - I'm watching him now in Jericho), the writing is decent. I watched the whole series and it was worth my time. I recommend it.

I'd love to see the original, but the cheapest I can find it is $25 at Amazon. Hopefully it will be at Netflix soon.

Well, after my previous comments about wanting to see the british version first, I went ahead with this version. It's good! I'm on about the fourth episode or so and thoroughly enjoying it.

Thanks for another good tip.
