Okay and nothing more

Sharpe and Harper are still in India and have been asked by the governor to perform one last task before they leave. They are to escort a Frenchwoman to her fiancée, a Major serving at an outpost. Sharpe agrees, little knowing he is walking into a rebellion with the instigators quite close to home.Sharpe's Waterloo seemed the perfect way to end the series so I was disappointed and apprehensive when Sharpe's Challenge was released nine years later. To my surprise, however, Sharpe's Challenge turned out to be very good. It retained much of the qualities of the previous episodes.Sharpe's Peril follows roughly the same plot as Sharpe's Challenge - set in India, rebellion in progress, some elements close to home - but isn't as solid, plot-wise. Moreover, it does now feel that the producers are flogging a dead horse.It's not terrible and is reasonably watchable but is certainly not in the same league as the previous Sharpe episodes. Thankfully the producers finally called it curtains after this episode. The series' trajectory was certainly downwards after this one.

Not a Bad Final Film

This film picks up where Sharpe's Challenge left off - Sharpe and Harper are en route to Madras. The team run across a baggage train of the East India Company that is traveling through a very rough and hostile territory. Bandits, lead by Chitu, are out to rob the train. When the robbers attack the train, Sharpe and Harper are on the scene to stop them. Despite all this action, Sharpe still finds time for romance.

6/10.
