Sean Bean returns as Richard Sharp, an officer in the 19th Century British Army in this made-for-TV drama based on the series of novels by Bernard Cornwell. After Wellington's victory at Victoria, the British army prepares to storm France, but new soldiers are needed to fill out the depleted battalions. However, as Sharpe and Sgt. Major Harper (Daragh O' Malley) spearhead a recruiting drive, they discover corrupt officers have infiltrated the highest levels of command, and when they try to bring the disloyal officers to justice, they find their lives are in jeopardy. In order to protect themselves and serve their King, Sharpe and Harper decide to fake their deaths and enlist in the army as foot soldiers. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Sean Bean - Richard Sharpe

Tom Clegg once again directs Sean Bean in Sharpe's Regiment, which comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, but those familiar with this ongoing tale will not be disappointed with this addition to the series. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
