Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
比较一般，记得以前又有部类似的，剧情一般，不需要演技。
场面不错 剧情也都交代清楚，主要是主角我喜欢，黑妹子太聪明了 我喜欢。
一个固定场景发生的故事，稍微少了点紧张感与情节的错落感。还有，死人太容易了。
超喜欢小成本密闭空间动作电影，但是看完感觉拍的一般般，剧情上也没能够讲明白，节奏上也是虎头蛇尾，有点失望😞。唯二亮点就是题材和部分风景拍的不错
有一段场景，老帅哥开枪，小黑女在摁密码那段，有点意思。其它好烂。国内还有人翻译成：正义陷落！？WTF
昨天看一半看到睡着了，前面的铺垫有些沉，不像《两杆大烟枪》那种节奏。
又名
仅有的可以称道的地方是搞对了许多历史的犄角旮旯的细节，譬如怎么杀也杀不死的拉斯普京，访问萨拉热窝时一路惊心无大碍最后却被怪异绝杀的裴迪南大公夫妇等等；然而放大到整体就是一滩完全不知所云的黏稠混合物。另：商业大片里那种CG长镜头真是快看吐我了。
这种系列片最怕的就是为系列而系列，因为第一部大卖就开始拍续集，最后的收场一般都不太妙……这部就很枯燥了，为了传奇而传奇，各种瞎编……刺杀妖僧拉斯普京的那段打斗是本片唯一亮点……
一些场景还是很紧张惊悚的。但作为一个持枪国家，这部电影里面的每一个着制服的美国警察，都毫无安全意识。女警把手枪指着犯人的头、陌生人坐在警局的位置里在问你是谁、看到遍地弹壳还不想着持枪戒备。男二也是非要到烟雾弥漫的浴室追击职业杀手而不是选择视线好的区域，女警打了肾上腺素能跑能跳就是不愿意去拿个重火力带把手枪坐着等，而且女警也太多问题了到最后还在问男一包里有什么。真的是看的我直跳脚，前面铺垫一大堆的内幕也不了了之。
剧情没有逻辑到好笑哈哈哈哈哈 除了女主其他警察都跟猪一样
动作爽片，和血溅十三号警署类似的火拼片片……
坏蛋维迪克和瓦莱莉警官身份对立一黑一白，却惺惺相惜，不知道女主经此大战，会不会三观崩塌
成本再低，經費再少
难怪这么低的分，警察局里的警察都是沙雕，怀疑警察是怎么培训出来的。另外还有些莫名其妙的设计，浪费时间，浪费了演员，编剧水平低于及格分
听说有彩蛋，有人猜是二战，那列老这唯一的镜头，将是引出第四部的点睛之笔。邪恶右派势力的崛起。蛤蛤
剧中的警察，除了女主角，其他警察都集体智商掉线。配角金牌杀手显示出少有的动作电影中的干脆利落。剧情很老套，血洗警察局。
神勇女警之我的队友都是猪。典型的「有个好点子但方方面面都执行得差口气」：如开篇引出巴特勒片段，摄影不给多处中弹的警车镜头，不给醉汉镜头，不给警察镜头；所以我们既不知道那是警车，也不知道他醉了，更不知道那两位是警察——全靠台词。知道沙漠夜景很美，但必须让位于视觉叙事，不可喧宾夺主。神经病杀手属于典型的「炸裂」式伪演技，同时耍的也只能算「伪笑话」；反复靠冷枪反杀只会暴露编导的无能；为了高潮部分的两次绝处逢生，前面的送女儿枪和比拔枪快均属为了埋伏笔而埋伏笔，没扣住核心故事，太散且篇幅过长；三人对峙时画面被监狱栏杆割裂，无聊正反打看得缺乏霸气，好歹学着用用镜子吧？集中两大动作片主角，但只有末尾撑住了场面，其余部分废话多得让人恶心，装逼起范儿也慢到夭寿，剪到 60 分钟以内正好。尾声反转拙劣而无必要。
除了那场格鲁吉亚战舞（那玩意不是芭蕾）外只剩下混乱和无趣。
小到警察局大到白宫伦敦，巴特勒走哪哪陷落。
