Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreI used to love this show but ever since Roselyn Sanchez joined, have not really watched it. Why is that TV producers think they need to bring on some very sexy actress to boost ratings to their show? Were they hoping for a more male crowd? Well, if she could carry off her self as a professional, it would be believable, but now every time I see the show I am reminded that this is acting and ALL THE ACTORS ARE THERE for a meal ticket, and not a story which the actors' characters are bringing to life. I am not saying that all actors need to look ugly on the show, I think most of the actors are attractive, but I am sorry Roselyn Sanchez just looks way out of place for something serious like this.
View MoreI've come to hate this show--the agents are so over the top and the events are so badly done that to say it stretches reality is greatly beyond an understatement. Malone is off-kilter so much he should be in jail for all the stuff he pulls. The personal drama between the characters detract too much from what's going on. The agents consistently abuse, threaten, and brow-beat suspects, witnesses, and victims that that whole unit should be looking for new jobs...or suspension at the least. I've stopped watching this show...no originals, no reruns, no more TiVo season pass.I started watching because of Eric Close--I thought this show would give him a chance to truly develop into a top-tier actor, but that just has not happened. LaPaglia is good as Jack Malone, but the overdone maverick behavior of Malone so distracts from the show--greatly so. However, the one actor that truly shines in the show is Marianne Jean-Baptiste as agent Vivian Johnson. She is the only one on the show that acts like an FBI agent with the portrayal of the character's personal side being the most believable.And to the CBS directors and writers, you guys need an FBI technical adviser for more than just a few shows...or fire Mark Llewellyn for doing such a poor job.
View MoreAs much as I admire Aussie actor Anthony LaPaglia, WAT is generally a very dull show, about people gone missing. LaPaglia is the head of an FBI unit specializing in finding missing persons. Unfortunately, he sleepwalks through most episodes. And his team, with the exception of Marianne Baptiste, is made up of typical B-level TV actors, all very generic and interchangeable. LaPaglia's character initially was introduced on one of the CSI shows. I can recommend watching WAT for one reason and one reason only: If there is no LAW & ORDER or LAW & ORDER SVU episode playing. Then it is better than nothing. It's like COLD CASE or CROSSING JORDAN: They are good enough to watch while waiting for LAW & ORDER. And I will say WAT is a cut above any of the CSI shows.
View MoreIt's a good show, fairly well-written, with good plot lines, but the characters are a little under-developed, which is sometimes frustrating. But overall, I would recommend it easily. The "one case per episode" thing can result in rushed episodes sometimes, but most of the time, they keep a realistic time line. Of course, with this kind of show, you can rarely really "connect" with the missing persons stories, because it's so short. You can get bored of the style after a few seasons, but if you like shows like Bones or Criminal Minds, this show is a good choice, even if it's missing the humor-wittiness of Bones and the intelligence of Criminal Minds.
