Press comments about MG’s work as
Action Director

  • "..The Lazarus Project has a bright concept behind it with satisfying bursts of action (think shootouts and international car chases)..."

    Nicole Vassell The Independent
  • The Lazarus Project is a big, robust sci-fi thriller with proper action scenes. Well-directed shoot-outs, car chases, punch-ups, sniper attacks and on-foot pursuits… the action is good, meaty and regularly delivered. It’s pacy and exhilarating without suffering from loud, bangy attention deficit disorder. The dynamic range from quiet moments to loud, impressive set pieces is handled well.

    Louisa Mellor Den of Geek
  • “The Lazarus Project transitioned from domestic drama to weird time-travel sci-fi flick to full stunt Mad Max car chase in less than an hour..."

    Carol Midgley The Times
  • What could be a slightly silly show with good gags and terrific stuntwork becomes something else, asking serious questions about a modern world that feels increasingly out of control.

    Gabriel Tate Finanzial Times
  • "... This show is fast and funny and furious and exciting — some of those stunt sequences are worthy of a Bond film, they really are.."

    Steven Perkins what to watch
  • "Much of the first two episodes are relatively low-key, largely taking on the form of a relationship drama with a Groundhog Day twist before exploding into action scenes on a scale rarely seen on British TV."

    Sam Moore Rolling Stone
