Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
演员们都演技不错哎，最后半小时反转反转再反转，结尾在戒毒所看着墙上的画那个镜头我内心一句WTF，别是个非常嫌疑犯一样的故事啊，不过下个镜头就看到Jay画的画了。好奇主角妹妹棕发灰眸是混血还是少数民族呀。
2022.6.26 晚 好看啊！期间有不少不低级的笑点。构建了一个杀手宇宙，能不能拍续集呢？来自东京的男人是山下智久，帅不过三秒哈哈哈
欧美电影难得有个亚裔妹子当主角并且演技还可以，剧情也还算抓人，短小精悍，人物逻辑性更强点就更棒了
嗑药还有这用处？以及看完之后总觉得美国好危险…持枪没好结果…
这扑克玩法是富坚义博发明的，幻影旅团玩的。
片子及格甚至值得四星，唯独用毒品减轻疼痛纯扯淡。口服毒品不是麻醉剂，吃了瞬间不疼，还能保持理智……就很扯淡……口服麻醉品一般都有生效时间，而且作用很难精确，所谓止痛，代价往往是失去理智，止痛往往也将疼痛扭曲为其他感觉。这里不如突出痛感，突出人性，而不是抖机灵，让一个坚持戒毒的人放弃戒毒，从而自救。不吸毒就死，吸毒为了更好生活，这样的选择题不道德也不机灵。吸毒的人才会，人不人，鬼不鬼。
0227:难得看到亚裔女主的欧美恐怖片，演技还不错，但是既不悬疑也不惊悚，全称没有刺激的感觉，最后把黑人老婆划到绑匪那边简直无语，黑人还专门点明了退伍军人，结果毫无作用就挂了
很普通，不太好看。抖音剪辑实在是大加分。。。
以后恐怖片女主的智商和武力值都给我按这个标准卷起来！
这种剧情每次都除主角外全军覆没，能不能反套路一下，给我个惊喜？
观感很痛，有小说托底，剧情还算不错。又想起人贩子，太该死。
【25】 ————— 🔴 2022【28】 🔵 美国【58】
暴风雪山庄式的故事，全员智商在线，剧情张力也不错，但故事还是简单了点
凯文哈特的电影和他近年来的comedy一样烂
惊悚片三大俗：人死得差不多了，电话信号终于来了；警察救援终于赶到了，分不清状况被反派杀了；反派终于占得上风要得手了，非要呶呶不休被反杀了。
钉枪直接给我打出橡胶手错觉...暴风雪山庄模式，以小成本来看算是小成功。毕竟反转都在意料之中。
因为我住在多伦多才看了这电影，结果和多伦多屁关系都没
小说改编反转，低成本惊悚片，亚裔女主《求救信号》，还可以。
一枪可以干掉的事，非要用钉枪把手钉在墙上。
不知道是岁数大了还是怎样，这类片子不再吸引我了，甚至觉得从头至尾都很尴尬。
