Colin Firth versatile actor

Having watched this fine, tense thriller it proved that Colin Firth is a versatile and vastly underrated actor. Forever linked with 'Mr Darcy' I feel this showed more depth and that as well as playing comedic and upper class gentry he shows that he can reach within himself to play a role against type that was entirely believable. Excellent portrayal as man tortured by doubts, loved but unloving, his only friend being the moor itself. A very good supporting cast. Syliva Syms as the mother who abandons her family was very much true to form with a performance one would expect from this 'old school' actress. The scenery was breathtaking and added to the sense of foreboding that builds from the very beginning.
