Excellent, for a TV movie.
This is a very well made, well scripted, well directed movie.
One has to rate it, however, based on the fact that it's a "Made for TNN" production. As such, it somehow feels like a TV show, not a major motion picture. It's an odd thing, because I can't quite place why this is. Maybe it's the lighting, or the quality of the film stock, or.. ???? The director has previously done some of the "Law and Order" episodes, and that's basically what this film looks like. Still, it's totally engaging. A great mix of action and intelligent humor. No typical cliches, and the cast is absolutely perfect. Highly recommended.. 
How to categorize this one?
Biting an apple, a good one, I only got shaky and broken words for this
TV movie. Shaky and broken like its plot. God, thank you for Dominczyk's pretty face and sexy exotic Polish accent. Lovely voice she has. Robert Patrick, I only saw his "Terminator" in which he doesn't need to speak at all but kill and run. How delightful to find out that his voice is exactly like Martin Sheen's, though MS is 18 years senior to RP. Actually RP can do far better, the faulty plot just doesn't allow him to shine brighter. BTW, I like his look, blond and fair. Chris Noth is known here in town largely due to the huge success of Sex and the City. How come he looks so downcast here. Why doesn't Colm Meaney call for backup when that is really necessary? Claps to Howard Korder, quite a number of lines are hilariously funny. "Comedy"? How did it achieve this title? I don't know how to laugh during and after seeing it. Big thank you to the VCD distributors in town and the visual technology, I don't need to tolerate the TV commercials, it took me less than 96 minutes to sweep it through with the fast-forward button.. |
