 Stunning and Historically Accurate August 19, 2004
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
These were the first episodes of this pretty accurate picture of the amazing life of Reilly, in fact and despite the name neither Irish nor British (though a "British" spy for many years) but probably the illegitimate son of a Jewish doctor, his mother being the (Russian) wife of a Russian colonel in the Western part of Russia. His natural father's name may have been Blumenthal.Blessed or cursed with a ruthlessness which enabled him to kill for money his first wife (and the elderly husband she had when she first encountered Reilly), the lure of (properly paid) espionage drew Reilly. These videos of Reilly, Ace of Spies are really superb and should be seen.
 Slightly dated but still a stunning TV drama March 12, 2002

An incredible piece of work from the director who brought you "Edge of Darkness". I recommend this whoelheartedly. Hopefully they'll release all 12 episodes. Neill is well cast in the role of Sydney Reilly the noted turn of the century British spy. The direction is taut and atmospheric.
