Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
birgit_schuette How many times can someone "come back" and get so many idiots to "follow" him on some ridiculous quest? Not to slate the acting - James Purefoy and Kevin Bacon weere great, and the show started off really interesting. But it got kindof unbelievable and irritating. That being said - I still watched the whole thing, just got a bit tedious. I think the writers just ran out of unique ideas beyond the pilot (which is the best episode in my opinion). It's got high production quality and good acting, so give it a watch and see what you think.
Andreas Malmgren Before you all give this serie a 1* rating due to the dumbness of every actor. Think of this. As most of you know, Tv-series and Movies are not likely to be just as realistic as in real life. For many reasons there need to be some kind of unrealistic events in the script, otherwise it would be impossible to do a movie or a tv-serie like this. If the police doing everything right the first time, there would not be any need to do a second or third episode. Also remember that they need to put EVERYTHING together in just a couple of episodes and seasons. Real-life events that normally maybe going on for many years.Sure, in this serie some events do seems more unrealistic then neccessary but probobly to ensure the action-level of it. In real, it would not have been likely for Joe to escaspe a maximum prison by slaughter those three guards like that and not without anyone else notice like in episode one. But overall the actors doing a great job thourgout the show, and the script is somewhat very good. I don´t think Kevin would have taken the job if he did think it was just crap.
mamossdi It amazes me that this show hung on for three seasons. With all the ludicrous plot twists, silly dialog, and implausible character developments, the actors deserve awards for delivering their lines without cracking up. But I did watch the entire Season 1. A testament to Kevin Bacon's appeal, I suppose.
Michael Kent The premise is good, Joe Carroll, the character played by James Purefoy is incredibly authentic and compelling in every scene he is in. Kevin Bacon as Ryan Hardy is one dimensional and utterly implausible. He does something stupid, gets away with it and sets about repeating the same mistake, sometimes with a bit less style. In any good crime drama the power balance swings between good and evil and the audience sympathies also shift between them. That just doesn't happen here.Season 1 gets away with it because its new and fresh and we are carried along on a tide of shocks and surprises. By the end of season 3 it is easy to see why the show was cancelled.Many of the main supporting roles are delivered very well and the plots, sub-plots and twists keep the audience engaged through many of the shows. In the end though, as others have commented, many of the FBI agents seem to have been recruited from the Keystone Cops and watching them becomes tiresome after a while.
