Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Awful play writers. Initially, I was drawn by the leading actors Gary Sinise, Daniel Henney , Gary was so outstanding in other CSI series and Daniel was just pleasant to watch. Feel pity that he doesn't have too much room to play out. however, I got disappointed because the writers and producers doesn't do their job well. First, the scenery details are not well created, most of them were close shot, looks like they shoot in their studio or outside the road randomly, just doesn't feel real. Most of all, the content of the screenplay seems to be so careless. The lines were not well written, and kind of felt offensive, rude, imprudent. What kind of line is this in episode 10? " Sorry it's not your fault. It's how you were raised." with the scene, it was totally screwed and sound just like a cliche soap opera that couldn't afford a good writer. I understand that the concept of this going to other foreign countries doing justice, and the scenes needed to be contracted into 45 mins, but shouldn't they be careful or do more research on the storyline? I mean, at least don't encourage the audience to suspect the scenes and lines, which by the way are not making any sense. Come on, the team can do better than this!

Why would someone bring an entire car (and a motorbike) in the plane and take pictures (forensic ones) of the victim with the smart phone? I mean, disregarding the inconsistency of the plot, this kind of detail makes me discard the series from the very beginning of the show.The interaction between the characters was unrealistic. The dialogues were platitudes. The characters had no substance and individuality. The plot was non-existent. All the so-called chase was hilarious. The unsub was hilarious, too. The ending was unbelievably blunt. I felt sorry for Gary Sinise landing on this kind of a show. I found myself manipulated to see a new Criminal Minds by the title and by the interaction with the agent David Rossi in the beginning of the episode.

This show has nothing to do with the classy original Criminal Minds. The characters look like they are just reading lines, not living the intrigue. There is no connection between them. There's even a pathologist who carries a gun and goes in the field with the other agents and gets shot at. Yeah, all pathologist do that. I know it's Hollywood but the Original is definitely more realistic. And let's talk about the intrigue... FBI goes around the world solving crimes for other incompetent police department. It's condescending and ludicrous! And they travel in an airplane equipped with life size offices and cars! Really? Bad acting, too much violence, bad dialogue and insulting... Just plain bad.

So disappointing. 'Criminal Minds', despite being hit-and-miss in the later seasons and a few slow spots when it first started (though the first season still has some great episodes), at its best was absolutely riveting television (especially in Seasons 2-5) and one of my personal favourites.It is a real shame that none of its spin-offs are any good. 'Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour' never took off and it is easy to see why it is so short-lived. Despite having very little good about it, with dull stories, bad writing, uninteresting characters and poor acting (even from Forrest Whittaker), it never reaches the depths of being offensive like 'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders', which, apart from some enigmatic acting from Alana De La Garza (who is still undermined by the material being beneath her), has nothing good about it.'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders' started off absolutely disastrously, with one of the worst, most ridiculous and quite offensive first episodes of any show in recent memory. It did get marginally better, but the flaws are never rectified in any of the episodes (and the flaws are numerous and are major) and like 'Suspect Behaviour' it never takes off. Sure, lots of shows have slow or inconsistent first seasons, but never as badly as this. This reviewer doesn't see the show improving, and yes I really am giving it a fair chance as someone who has watched the entire season and am trying to take it as it is.Visually, 'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders' doesn't even look good. There is nothing evocative about the locations, instead they look cheap and never once is one convinced they are there in the countries the episodes are based. The way it's shot and edited is incredibly choppy, and completely lacks atmosphere or a sense of mood, either being overly-bright or drab. The music is also annoying, it is too loud and too constant with not a sign of a break and with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, it also does not fit at all (a lot of it is misplaced actually) as well as cheap and out of date.Also major problems are writing that condescends to the viewer constantly in every episode, is stereotypically offensive and culturally insensitive. It's also filled to the brim with cheese, convolution and awkwardness. The stories are interminably dull, overly-obvious, ridiculous and convoluted, with a complete lack of tension or suspense in action-oriented parts. There is no chemistry at all within the team with no great little character moments (one of 'Criminal Minds' greatest strengths), and the mystery elements (that 'Criminal Minds' did with profiling and psychologically delving into the unsub's mind, excelling so brilliantly at it as well) are severely under-utilised and underdeveloped to the point of non-existence.None of the characters are interesting or compelling, and have absolutely nothing worth relating to or liking, Mae is an incredibly bland character that never seems like she belongs and Russ is basically a pale imitation of Garcia instead being annoying and uninteresting. The unsubs are ones we have seen before but with none of the menace, feel-bad-for factor or development, with the slight exception of the unsub in the Haiti episode. De La Garza aside, the acting is poor. Gary Sinise has a lot of talent as an actor, but is very wooden and looks incredibly bored and expressionless throughout, at no point does he connect with his material. Annie Funke is incredibly weak as Mae, with a very limited and stiff acting range, while Tyler James Williams is dull and obnoxious.Overall, even worse than 'Suspect Behaviour' and even when given a chance it still continues to disappoint. Deserving of an early cancellation if it continues to be this bad. 1/10 for De La Garza only. Bethany Cox
