I just want to shake the script writers on this show and jiggle loose whatever part of their brains have become stuck in the ’stupid’ position. They manage to come up with some very scary ideas and yet this show is let down time after time by the little details and the resolution of the stories. It’s so frustrating. It’s like they expend all this energy coming up with the creepiest outlines but then don’t have enough time to pay attention to the details that will give the characters the depth they deserve.

The two leads have a great chemisty together but the writers have to get their brains in gear and raise their game a great deal if they’re going to produce a product that will survive beyond a single season.

Duh? I don’t understand why this movie was even made. If we were in the 1950s I could understand it. WWII was not long over and the German’s looked like pretty good bad guys that close to events. But today? We’re all friendly European types, crabby at times I’ll admit, but this stereotypical nonsense just doesn’t make sense.

Intense. Put young men with too much testosterone together with the US Marine ethos and you have pretty explosive fare. All I can say is this film reinforces my pacifistic tendencies in a pretty serious way. (As the mother of a son this stuff scares the shit out of me!)

Some reveiwers seem to be claiming this film was slow or boring or dull or some such descriptor. I don’t think we’ve been watching the same movie. You should definitely watch this movie it has some very inciteful things to say about young men and some of their hardwiring.

Scary as all get out.

Unsatisfying. Attractive cast and interesting premise completely sabotaged by an inadequate script. This is one of those movies where you want to scream at the screen - don’t do it. The ‘hero’ keeps digging a bigger and bigger hole for himself. All he has to do is tell the police what happened and it’s all over. By the end the male lead’s behaviour is so gratuitous that it is completely unbelievable.

Aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Where’s a half way decent script writer when you need one?

So I’ve been ordered to make a test post to keep ‘him upstairs’ happy and see if our feed to Thomas Mcphee dot com is working. What ever the boss wants, he gets!
