A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
View MoreThis was like fan fiction. Same characters we all know and love but none of the quality of the television show. The dialog was flat, several scenes were repetitive and didn't further the plot in any way, and the cinematography was not at all like any of the other Law & Order shows. Even edited down to one hour this would have been one of the most lame Law & Order episodes ever. I have to wonder if the writer had even seen the show before churning out this drivel. The actors did the best they could with what they had, but this was a stinker from the very first scene. It does not follow the traditional L&O format- no incident before the opening credits, no whump whump, no investigation then trial and the music isn't even the same. Very disappointing.
View MoreI am glad Chris Noth is back on "Law & Order" (Criminal Intent)... This made for T.V. movie was very entertaining!! Dealing with the real life habits of mob related criminal activity fortified this NBC Special movie tremendously!! Chris Noth was in virtually every scene in this special presentation, I think it is because the television audience really likes the character Mike Logan on "Law & Order"!!! Chris Noth does an excellent job as a straight forward detective who has the challenge of bringing down crime in his blood stream!! Mike Logan is tough and likable, and this special made for T.V. movie was identifiable with all who remember him on the early days of "Law & Order" ... I give this movie a thumbs up, and I think that "Law & Order" has never been quite the same without Chris Noth!! He and Dennis Farina are my favorite characters on the series!! I recommend to everyone who likes "Law & Order" that they see "Exiled" .. I think the lack of scruples with the underworld takes on a peculiar dimension with this movie... Chris Noth is great in "Exiled" and cameo appearances by many of the "Law& Order" cast contribute to this movie as well!! I give this NBC made for T.V. movie a resounding approval.. Perfect 10!!
View MoreFor those of you who are offended that this movie insinuates nothing happens on Staten Island--get over it-nothing does. I'm a NYC paramedic and I know of what I speak. Chris Noth played this character very realistically. I think Dick Wolf made good use of a great character and an excellent actor. I would also like to give kudos to the 34th Avenue Bowl in my old neighborhood. Chris, why didn't you tell me? We could have hung out! Jeanine
View MoreI quit watching "Law & Order" for awhile after they fired Noth, but this movie did not live up to my expectations. The character of Mike Logan may have been wild, but he was always by the book. Letting Miss Taylor get away with the murder of her sister was far too unbelievable, almost as unbelievable as Logan falling in love with her.While it was great to see Chris Noth back in the role he perfected from 1990 to 1995, this storyline really could have been better written. At least on the series Logan had redeeming qualities. In the movie, he bordered on obsessive compulsive with some sort of twin complex. Jerry Orbach and Benjamin Bratt seemed to be in the movie only to show that yes, it was connected to the series in a way. It's infortunate that a movie viewer had to be a regular series viewer to get some of the nuances, since the series itself is now bottom-dwelling with "The X Files" and "NYPD Blue" for the "Weirdest Soap Opera of the Year" award.The movie had its plusses, with some of the well-used NBC guest stars such as Costas Mandylor and Ice-T (it was a wonder that Frank John Hughes didn't show up as well), but basically it was a cheap attempt to appease the L&O fans that screamed for justice after Noth's firing three years ago.
