Lack of good storyline.
Brilliant and touching
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreHey there Profiler fans: My partner, Ian Sander, and I executive produced PROFILER. We now have a new dramatic series on the air called GHOST WHISPERER. It stars Jennifer Love Hewitt (Party of Five, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Heartbreakers), Aisha Tyler (Friends, Talk Soup) and David Conrad (Wedding Crashers, Miss Match). It's about a woman who can see and speak to people who have died but have yet to cross over due to unfinished business with the living. It airs Fridays at 8/7 central on CBS. Hope you'll check it out. After you have seen it, feel free to let us know what you think at ghostwhisperer@cbs.com.Hope to hear from you! Kim Moses
View MoreWhen Profiler first got aired it felt fresh - its fast pace and neat cuts fitted well for the needs of the new MTV generation. In many ways Profiler made room for all those psychic thrillers that followed and series like "C.S.I.". The characters were well written and their separate story lines and personalities all had something to offer. The mystery surrounding Jack's identity (whose face was never revealed until the 3rd season) kept people hooked. The writes really managed to make Jack appear dangerous - you never knew what he'd do next. The cliffhanger in the end of the second season was powerful - no one could wait for the 3rd season... Then the writers, the producers and the directors changed and the show started to go downhill. The show had no dynamic anymore. Everything went wrong - the new mythology storyline surrounding Jack's trial was uninteresting. The writers made a poor effort in trying to convince the audience that the person they caught in the beginning of the season was the real Jack - but who believed them? The writers never did their homework - one plot-hole followed another and the standard "nutjob of the week" episodes were uninteresting and boring. The fourth season came and couldn't save the show either (except the great "Reunion 1 & 2" episodes where both Jack - played by the superb Dennis Christopher - & Sam appeared for the last time). Jamie Luner - the new profiler - wasn't really any worse than Ally Walker - it was just the writers who were unable to write anything good for her (and the same happened with Walker during the 3rd season). The new conflicts surrounding the lives of the main characters - George's drug addiction, the issues with Rachel's brother, romances etc. all felt forced and artificial. During Profiler's excellent seasons 1 & 2 the show was at times even better than my favorite show The X-Files. It's hard to understand how the new production team managed to ruin everything good the show had and offer nothing interesting in return.The first two seasons are without a doubt worth having on DVD. Once you have them I suggest that you pretend that the last two seasons never existed.
View MoreI'd like this show back in Columbo style movies. I got kind of sick of Samantha Waters (Ally Walker) though because she had red eyes and swung her head back and forth like a crack addict that I couldn't take her seriously anymore. Therefore I liked Rachel Burke (Jaime Luner) more and just wish she had three seasons just like Sam had. She always seemed to have a screen presence that no one on the show matched. Robert Davi of many action films, most notably "Licence To Kill" was great as well as Bailey. If NBC had let it stay on until 2002 or 2003 it would have had the run it deserved. It even created a new villain that matched Jack of All Trades in the final episodes. But it was on Saturday Night and had no chance to succeed ratings wise. See Dark Skies, She Spies, CBS Saturday's and the NBC mid 90s Saturday comedies for more information.
View MoreI only recently discovered this amazing TV show and I started watching because I realized that Robert Davi was a featured player. Profiler was a great show. Intense, smart and entertaining. But the best thing about it is Robert Davi. Yes, I know. He's not the quintessential leading man. Like Bogart or Bronson, he's no pretty boy and he's not a kid. But he does have a certain dangerous sexiness. That, tempered with that hint of tenderness and vulnerability made his love scenes truly breathtaking. I do wish the "powers that be" would give him a chance to show his stuff. He'd shine in a film along the lines of Casablanca. Just give us more of Davi. This light has been under a bushel for long enough.
