Certain Prey Audience Reviews

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
lorenbruner Pretty good for a made-for-TV type movie. The story was good and so was the acting. I have always been a Mark Harmon fan but although he did a pretty good job he would not have been my first (or any) choice for Lucas Davenport. I'd have gone with Thomas Gibson who plays Aaron Hotchner on Criminal Minds. He carries more of the dark and brooding qualities that I associate with the character. Nevertheless Mark Harmon is a good actor and easy on the eyes, too, so I enjoyed the movie and would love to see more Prey novels on either the large or small screen. Hollywood has as done so well with the Alex Cross franchise, and IMHO Lucas Davenport is equally, if not more, interesting and well-drawn by his author.
Robert Fliegel One of the most excruciatingly bad pilots in years. As a Sandford fan and a Minneapolis native, I cringed at the treatment the book received in this debacle of abysmal writing, acting, and casting. The lines were wooden and the production smacked of tight soap opera camera work and amateurish audio. This is a rip-off of Jethro Gibbs fans who tuned in in hopes of seeing an equally compelling character in Harmon's Lucas Davenport. What a profound disappointment. I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes of this initial episode and I have no intention of giving the series a second chance. Unless the writers and supporting cast are replaced, this bomb will die well before season two.
justjeanettesfics It's funny but I keep hearing comments across many a board panning this Movie but the basis for said panning seems to be that Mark Harmon is not playing Gibbs-up to and including one person complaining that Lucas was a bad cross between Gibbs and DiNozzo... Now given that Rules of Prey (and therefore Lucas Davenport) was created 1989 it's kind of hard to say Lucas is a bad cross between Gibbs and DiNozzo; neither of those characters existed when John Sandford started to write.Now, if you remove your NCIS expectations, this is a good movie introducing what will hopefully be a set of TV Movies based on John Sandford's Novels. Mark Harmon is an incredibly talented actor with a lot more range than some people seem to want to credit him with. My husband, who is not a fan of NCIS, thoroughly enjoyed the movie with me.Loved Lucas, loved Marcy, and really, really loved the actor playing Carla. My husband, who normally isn't a great reader of this genre, has just grabbed my copy of Rules of Prey to read based on watching the movie so if that is any indicator of quality then this movie rocks.
darknemesistattoo It seems many people hated this movie, but it is fairly obvious from the reviews that none of you have read the books. I thought Mark Harmon did an excellent job of portraying Lucas Davenport, and you can tell by his performance that he is a fan of the books. He really captured the world-weariness of Davenport without going over the top with the character's general bad-assery, and I would love to see him return in further "Prey" movies! As for the people who didn't approve of the fact that all of the characters seemed to be sleeping with one another, this movie is an adaptation of the tenth book in the series. There were nine other books spanning several years of plot that led up to the movie's various romantic entanglements. The producers and writers just did a really efficient job of summing up too much information into a believable plot.
