'Manhunt' DVD Review

Martin Clunes plays DCI Colin Sutton a London Detective. 'Manhunt' is based on the memoirs of Sutton. Sutton was involved in the pursuit of serial killer Levi Bellfield. The battered body of a young  French student is found on the green at Twickenham. This young detective will become the lead detective of this case. Sutton was a very humble but hardworking young man and this would become a sign of the kind of career Sutton would have with the London police force. Sutton early on was able to connect the dots on this case with a previous murder thus leading him in search of a serial killer. When it became known that a serial killer was on the loose the press as well as the public became very interested in this case. Everyone wanted answers and they wanted them yesterday. Sutton’s team were not able to find a motive nor any witnesses or for that matter any forensic evidence. The team was soon becoming discouraged but Sutton pressed on.

Sutton would suffer personally as his relationship with his wife (Claudie Blakley) would suffer from all the time he would spend on the case. Our story is one of fact and shows the truth behind what police sometimes have to deal with in search of certain killers.
Martin Clunes is wonderful as DCI Sutton. He is able to show the truth as to why some investigations can be very tiring even on the families.
