Synopsis
“Very well done - moody and murky - Marc Warren is excellent as the troubled Walker. Pretty bloody terrifying, too”--THE Guardian
Renowned detective Joseph Walker is haunted by a past of violence, passion and betrayal - a past which threatens his ability to hunt down a killer with a terrifying message for the world. Heading up an investigation into a series of gruesome and elaborately staged murders, Joseph is puzzled by the bizarre nature of the killings and the presence of mysterious symbols traced into a layer of sand at each murder scene. To end the killings, Joseph must solve the riddle. But the clock is ticking - are Joseph and his new squad just tracking a criminal or are they themselves part of the murderer’s plan?

Messiah 5 The Rapture does not feature Ken Stott or any of the cast from the previous Messiahs, instead it stars Marc Warren (Hustle)and features a brand new investigation team. Marc Warren and the rest of the cast do an excellent job playing troubled detective Joseph Walker. Messiah 5 sees Walker an his team investigating a series of killings with mysterious symbols left in sand by the victims.
Like the other series Messiah 5 moves at a good pace and I quickly got used to Marc Warren being in it and no Ken Stott. There are a number of good twists and I did not guess who the killer was this time. I only guessed the killer in Messiah 2 and 4. There are no extras on the dvd which is a little dissapointing. Hopefully they will make Messiah 6 soon - it would be nice if it had both Marc Warren and Ken Stott in it. So if like me you enjoy a good murder mystery then Messiah 5 The Rapture is well worth watching.

storyline was very good as you would expect from the 'messiah' production team. marc warren brought his own character to life very well, but he is no ken stott who played in the first 4 series. having said that, if you enjoyed the first four, i would recommend this dvd as well.
Marc Warren's character is absolutely flat. You are supposed to believe he has inspirations though basically he just waits around until someone else dies or someone else suggests he does something. No 6 for me.

Series ripoff - awful
This DVD is a pathetic attempt by the BBC to fool the viewing public by re-using the title of an excellent show on a mediocre new entry. Read more

Messiah I-IV had strong and devious (if not always credible) storyline and also a real team of policemen and women. Read more

crime thriller
We were not disappointed with the replacement of Ken stott - Marc Warren filled the part amiably. Again a great stroy line and we would highly recommend it.

Good but no Wallander
I have really enjoyed the Messiah series so far: the stories have been unusually dark, the imagery was sometimes quite gruesome, the bodycount as high as in any American series... Read more
