I am glad Chris Noth is back on "Law & Order" (Criminal Intent)... This made for T.V. movie was very entertaining!! Dealing with the real life habits of mob related criminal activity fortified this NBC Special movie tremendously!! Chris Noth was in virtually every scene in this special presentation, I think it is because the television audience really likes the character Mike Logan on "Law & Order"!!! Chris Noth does an excellent job as a straight forward detective who has the challenge of bringing down crime in his blood stream!! Mike Logan is tough and likable, and this special made for T.V. movie was identifiable with all who remember him on the early days of "Law & Order" ... I give this movie a thumbs up, and I think that "Law & Order" has never been quite the same without Chris Noth!! He and Dennis Farina are my favorite characters on the series!! I recommend to everyone who likes "Law & Order" that they see "Exiled" .. I think the lack of scruples with the underworld takes on a peculiar dimension with this movie... Chris Noth is great in "Exiled" and cameo appearances by many of the "Law& Order" cast contribute to this movie as well!! I give this NBC made for T.V. movie a resounding approval.. Perfect 10!!

I'm a fan of Law & Order (the original series anyway). I too liked Chris Noth's character a lot, so I was happy to see this.Unfortunately it was a hackneyed script with uninspired trite dialogue. It's still worth watching for L&O fans, but it's basically just a long episode. (except without the "order" part - which is usually what I like as they explore legal issues.The writing was cheesy, the plot was definitely nothing new. The usual characters of mobs, junkie/strippers, defensive woman cop, insensitive cops, stereotypical/over the top pimp portrayals were all present. Recurring characters like Briscoe, the Lieutenant & Rey were unfortunately underused. I agree with others that it was sad to see Profacci taken down (esp. for something as silly as fertility issues)- but I did at least respect that they chose someone we'd seen over the years - not just introduce some new "red shirt" (ala Star Trek) character just for the movie - so that they could set him up to be the bad guy.

I thought exiled was great. But, I also felt that bringing his old captain to debut a new show called Law and Order SVU was shabby. they should have let a great actor like Chris Noth star in Law and Order SVU. He is a great actor and will always be a great actor. in fact I would like to see him back on Law and Order I don't really like the new actor who replaced the the character Lenny Briscoe. If Law and Order can put aside it's feelings about Chris Noth I believe he was and could still be a great asset to the show. let's bring back Law and order the way it use to be. with feelings. Let Chris Noth be the best actor he can be. He was a detective with feelings.

I've been a Chris Noth Fan for a long time, and was very upset when he left LAW & ORDER. Mike Logan was a quirky, individualistic character who always left you wanting more. What a treat that Mr. Noth and co-writer Charles Kipps finally told us what happened to Logan after he was banished to Staten Island. In addition to being an enjoyable, fast moving mystery, there was always the underlying angst of Logan's boredom. I'm reminded of the phrase "Be Careful What You Wish For...You May Get It." Logan got what he wished for: He returned to the 2-7, and the Homicide work that he loved, only to find out that you can't go back again.I'd enjoy seeing a sequel, to find out how the character resolves this.Good Work, Chris Noth!
