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?
还原我们潮汕家庭的婚姻观念，他妈简直跟我妈一模一样
刚从徐克的魔改狄仁杰过来，相比之下，这部电影明显在台词设计，镜头运用等很多方面显得稚嫩，但是比魔狄系列好看太多，中国武侠的文化是什么，初心是什么，不是叠加一堆特效就能显示的。
喜剧片他问你为什么没剧情，恐怖片他问你为什么没剧情，动作片他问你为什么没剧情，但为啥故事片他不问你为啥没喜剧没恐怖没动作呢？豆瓣er就是这个贱毛病，一帮不懂啥叫类型片的沙雕想要又要还要…网大拍成这样，干净利索镜头语言还到位，要什么自行车？一个团队你明明看到他的诚意了，你还问，你拍的还不如黑泽明好看呀！我都替导演心累…为了一碗酒的恩情，在乱世中行侠义道，这不就是中国传统武侠的浪漫吗？哪单薄了？
拍的极为真实，非常接地气，绝对是超过8分的水准。
就只想看一部让人热血沸腾的爽片，这部电影正好满足我的期待。
网大精品，短小精悍，意犹未尽。
腔调氛围拿住了。武打场面也不差。
再来人身攻击的，继续把证据贴上去，都有留底。
我看的时候还挺有代入感的，觉得片子是不错的…本土温情系，潮汕地区真的蛮有意思的，有机会想去旅游…母亲这个角色诠释得特别好，和我妈妈那一代很类似的，本身自己没读过很多书，但很爱自己的孩子，老公不太给力，唯有靠自己撑起了这个家，伟大的女性…
一看就是低成本小制作，服化道以及CG质量差强人意，毫无古装质感。短评里吹有盛唐服化道魅力的，良心不痛吗？唯一可圈可点的大概就是武打场面。女主不停重复的“我就想要个公道”让我恍惚以为在看《秋菊打官司》或者《我不是潘金莲》。
谢苗已经要演大叔了？不过演的太好了！好沧桑好沉稳，这不就是杀手不太冷！哈哈，那个女孩也选的挺好的，虽然后面眼神有点木，但前面好清新气质好干净。就是琴娘……真的好可惜。
服化道、美术、武打演员在当今华语电影，都是难得的。
就冲剧照上那句话……“这世间不公道的事多了，管的过来吗？那就从她开始……”
确实惊艳，侠义的精神阐述很到位，这就叫武侠，动作干脆利落，不枉谢苗的一身好功夫。别看演员年纪轻轻，功底还是很到位。成瞎子演的好，就是这个气息，就是这个味道，了无牵挂，但是执中贯一。导演厉害，细节讲究，有几处点睛之笔，比如瞎子拔刀时睁开了眼，耳边有沙场的声音奔腾。配乐也应景。算是看过最武侠的武侠片了
三星半，故事有点弱，但多给半星鼓励分。这74分钟里的“武”和侠气，比那几部轮番吹嘘“国产武侠支棱起来”的剧加起来都多。几场打戏都拍得颇有水准，喷酒定位、雪中燃酒，都打得有纹有路，有清晰连贯的递招拆招，有贴合性格的巧妙设计。成瞎子因为曾接受过一点善意一顿酒，就愿为素昧平生、连长啥样都不知道的人拼上性命，只为讨个公道，这，才，叫，侠。谢苗有些角度像宋洋，不算俊美，但有故事感，适合银幕【主角是个退伍瞎眼老兵，一直想起《屏住呼吸》…
剧情很老套草率，但动作戏的拍摄确实有点东西，尤其是一些置景其实很典型是以小博大，低成本片子很好的尝试。
在电影电视剧追求数量不追求质量的时代下，还能有这么精彩绝伦的电影，难得。
简简单单把故事讲好，武打再到位就是一部好电影
三加一 匠气也掩盖不了的真诚 乡镇生活细节动人 / 不过规避了重男轻女这一潮汕文化非常大的痛点 / 想把镜头伸向我妈妈
可圈可点，还可以拍续集，谢苗怎么就发展成武打明星呢
