Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
crowtower A surprisingly well written and entertaining movie. Despite the apparent low budget and b-grade actors, everyone obviously put effort into making this a good film. As others have noted, this has the makings for a great TV series. Personally I'd choose a better lead actress - her acting was a bit wooden and I didn't really warm to her. It would need a very likable actress to make it a popular series, and excellent ongoing writing if it's to have lasting appeal. Also the sister character seemed implausible - why would she turn her back on her sister so readily. It could have been handled in a much better way. Something the movie didn't explore but could be in a series is having a psychic espionage unit. In reality, the Russians supposedly conducted a great deal of psychic research, hoping to be able to control the minds of their enemies. Of course, in our post-modern culture the real enemies lie within, something well explored by the X-files and more recently Iron Man. There could be a story arc, in which the main character comes to realize this, and must eventually go on the run from her own government, and perhaps band together other telepaths from many different cultures, learning to trust each other.
sylvia-b3-1 I accidentally stumbled across this movie on television after never having heard of it and enjoyed it so much that I went and bought the DVD and have seen it four times already. It's a surprisingly excellent film (far better than most of the big blockbusters movies) and almost everything works. Navi Ravat? as the tormented heroine and Joe Flanigan as the unwitting, but, loyal and funny partner were excellent in their roles and had so much chemistry.The story lines were intriguing and exciting and my only complaint is that I would have loved to see the story lines developed more and more of Brendan and Freya. It would have worked wonders as a series, mini series or a couple of sequels
dustyx This movie wastes no time on long, forced-in background stories, you get right into it and you'll figure everything out as you go. It managed to make me watch it without looking away, checking the runtime or even pausing it for a bathroom break.The acting is just as good as the fast-paced storyline, the characters are played realistic, humane and compelling. Nothing is overdramatised neither handled too casually. You don't realize they're acting, and that's exactly the way it should be done in this type of movie.There's nothing about this movie I didn't like, except for the fact that, like all movies, it had an end.
tattooedmunky75 I enjoyed Thought Crimes. Not only is Navi Rawat gorgeous, but she proved, at least as far as I'm concerned, that her acting abilities extend well beyond a walk on character for The OC. Nice to see that the 90's demise of ThirySomething didn't completely end Peter Horton's career but I don't expect he'll win any awards for his performance. All in all, it's a show I would definitely watch. I wouldn't sit at home on Friday nights just to see it, but it's definitely TiVo worthy. I hope it's not just another one-hit-wonder but only time will tell. As fir the overall concept, let's face it, not much is original these days but a fine little hottie like Rawat could make even an infomercial keep my attention. It's nice to know that just because you hear voices doesn't mean you can't still get a job in Hollywood.
