Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Deanna Paulicek Certain Prey, first TV adaptation of a novel by John Sandford. Tenth book in the Prey series.This is the first show that has me picking up a book, a book in series, an excellent series at that. A few people expect that a movie or TV adaptation of a book should be to the word, I don't see this even possible unless you make it into a series with-in itself. I loved this story the characters and the lead character Lucas Davenport in my opinion was wonderfully portrayed, by Mark Harmon.I have become a Prey series fan because of this movie and am looking forward to the next installment. Davenport is suspiciously close to Gibbs in a lot of ways, Mark Harmon, a Sandford fan no doubt, they are connected, IMO. I loved it. A terrific movie full of Suspense and thoroughly engaging.
swf64 I came across this pretty much by accident. I don't get the channel that made this TV movie, and as a huge fan of Davenport/Sandford, I eventually went to great lengths to get a copy. By then I had seen the reviews and pictures here and they had lowered my expectations. In fact, I even waited a couple of weeks to view it. I think many of the complaints of this film come from the unmistakable fact that a TV movie will never be better than a Sandford novel, and even more so for an audience that enjoys reading.I also think this is one of the real strengths of this film. Mark Harmon and company didn't try to give us our vision of Davenport, he gave us his. All of the characters in the film represent an image that is similar to the book series, but also unique, and the villains are exceptionally well played. In the end, it works well and stands on its own merits. I really enjoyed this TV version of Sandford and hope there are more. This is good TV.
seliott-indy I liked this movie and I really liked Lola Glaudini. It was not the best movie I have ever seen, but it was good entertainment. If you like Mark Harmon and NCIS, you should like this movie except his character plays a ladies man in this but it is implicated more than outright shown much. I really liked Lola Glaudini's character and how she fit into it. I thought she had the right kind of sexy and smart to pull off this character. It seems kind surreal and off the wall the extremes the character Carmel will go to and whether it is real life depicting, but then again, I see people doing off the wall things on the news on a weekly basis.
chipe The movie is a tremendous embarrassment and failure from virtually every standpoint. I can see why they didn't send it to reviewers prior to "opening night." Besides a few shows and cable news, I don't watch much TV, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's as good a sign as any that America is in serious decline. From the very beginning, the language of seemingly all the characters offended me. Also childish, as well as offensive, was the fact that every character seemed to be sleeping with everyone else. I was appalled by the violence. They witlessly and childishly put the worst traits of traditional male characters into the female characters here. Everyone was described as the "best" -- best lawyer in town, etc. The solving of the case seemed riddled with plot holes and miraculous assumptions and luck. The motivation for the murder of the wife seemed unbelievable -- a high-powered successful lady lawyer kills the wife of a man she has a one-time quickie with in the bathroom of a party 2 years ago because the husband doesn't return her affection!!! I can't recall any good reason for Mark Harmon's character zeroing in on the night club owned by the serial killer. I didn't like someone in the deputy police chief's position breaking into the woman's apartment under the circumstances (and great "luck" finding a bullet and spotting the key phone call entry). His violent "interrogation" scene was a joke. I didn't like many of the supporting cast. Finally, I couldn't believe that Harmon's rainbow staff defied him so -- they couldn't take "no" when he wouldn't disclose what he was doing at the moment, and they went so incredibly far as to blackmail him into divulging the info by threatening to reveal a past sexual dalliance as sexual harassment! They should have been fired. Harmon's character here was too retro and silly -- fast cars and women, fancy dresser, rich computer guy retiring to be top cop. Remarkable that the big-time hit-woman could miss Gibbs at the end.
