The 170 minute mini series is excellent, i've seen it several times on TV, and it does an excellent job of keeping the viewers attention. The unfortunate thing is that it is next to impossible to get a hold of, it doesn't appear to ever have been released on DVD, and the VHS version is a completely butchered cut lasting 114 minutes.
The cut version is still able to convey the main plot, but will leave viewers scratching their head throughout the movie as parts are obviously missing. Very unfortunate as it falls well short of what the full length brings to the table.
My rating would be: 170 minute version : 9/10 114 minute version : 5/10
