VividSimon Simply Perfect
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
robinabas2 In a strange way I want to watch more of this show but it is so weird. The acting in parts is terrible and some of the script feels like it was written by school kids. "I hope you die alone" was one line that really made me cringe; I mean who says that? Another (whilst holding up three fingers) "Read between the lines". It's so cheesy, but quite exciting in parts if you can scrape the lashings of cheese off your face. I still can't work out if its pro or anti-American; there's far too much pro- American bull in some scenes but you kind of expect it with this sort of production. The character played by Autumn Reeser (that really is her name) is probably the most annoying obnoxious female character I have ever seen on screen; thankfully she's not in it much but the scenes where she rants on about misses whilst trying to look sexy frankly made me nauseous. Overall 5/5 nice try but no cigar...
SnoopyStyle USS Colorado is a nuclear sub and they are tasked to pick up a team Navy SEALs. Then they receive a strange questionable order to launch their nukes against Pakistan. Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) refuses the order to fire, and the US gov proclaims it a mutiny. After escaping an attack from another US sub, the crew and SEALs take refuge on a small island.It was a convoluted idea to start off with. It had all kinds of questions that remained unanswered. They nuked Pakistan and it's treated like an afterthought. It would probably be advisable to actually show the nuclear blasts over Pakistan. At least then it's not something that just happened off stage.But once they started at such a convoluted place, they had no where to go but add more and more complications. It's like a death spiral that they can't pull out of. They pull in the islanders, then an insurrection among the mutiny, then the Chinese and the Pakistanis. It's a big ball of crazy.
Jarmo Puskala Last Resort could have been one for the ages. An epic drama of ordinary people far away from home unwillingly becoming the pawns in a global game for influence. All set in front of a backdrop of the United States government loosing it's moral imperative and Pax Americana coming to an end.It could have been the show to capture the zeitgeist of the times, like X-Files and 24 before it. And it could have been an amazing drama.It was so close, but it just wasn't quite good enough. To be fair, the fight was probably lost the moment it was picked up by ABC. This is a show that should have been on cable or online to become all it could have been.As it is, it's a show worth watching, but I don't remember another show that would have made me so frustrated at the sheer genius wrapped in mediocrity.
Maddie Finch Why was this show cancelled - I have no freaking idea. It had it all: a brilliant cast, an exciting story line, a great setting and immediacy. Typical for Shawn Ryan's creations it is a mind bender, operating in the grey areas of morality and therefore making it hard to tell who are the goodies, baddies or the just plain crazies. The performance of Andre Braugher as Captain Marcus Chaplain needs to be congratulated and even the casting of veterans like Robert Patrick and beauties like Australia's Dichen Lachman weren't enough to get the ratings. Lucky for the fans, the cancellation was in sight early enough to allow writing of a proper ending and tying up of all lose ends. If you like your shows with real characters, human conflict and unwavering heroes - this is one for you.
