Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Ritvik Nandipati The show is fairly good and it introduces new characters every season so that the show can go on. But frankly it is just B.S, and makes fool of the viewers. It assumes the users cannot realize when they are being used. There is no proper story line and the acting of Micheal is pathetic by any standards. This is a hopeless show and I personally cant figure out why people watch it. If you are new user, please do your self a favor and stay from this. Definitely not worth this useless content.
kosmasp It's the year 2007 (start of the show), but apart from the gadgets (and maybe some clothes) this show feels very much like it still is the 80s. Now why would I say that and is it a bad thing? Not necessarily concerning the latter and I say it, because while it does become "serialized" (as the people involved say themselves on the discs) towards the end, especially the beginning feels like a crime of the week thing.Now if that is your thing, then obviously you are right here. And let me tell you, it is very difficult to dislike the characters or the actors behind them. The show is held very light and it held up for 7 seasons. Something not many shows can add to their badge. But it also starts dragging. Which brings us back to the point I was making: The show does not work as good if you binge watch (that is watch as many episodes as possible back to back).One thing that does work and holds up almost during the complete run of the show, is the fact that while Westen (Donovan) is trying to find things out or get back into the game, there are always side missions. Which are a good distraction, but also add to the feeling of "baddie/crime" of the week vibe.You have a lot of guest stars and some who are coming back too (mostly re-introduced for those who either forgot or those new to watching). There is as with many shows not the immediate danger you feel for those involved, unlike let's say what 24 achieved in doing, where you knew only Jack Bauer was "untouchable". But again, this is a much lighter affair, where even in the most dangerous situation you'll have the main characters making a joke.Getting Renny Harlin to direct a couple of episodes from a certain point helped the show too. But I think both parties profited from that connection. It is what it is and you'll either love it or wish it was more coherent and had more flesh on its bones ... Matter of perspective
Terryfan This is one of U.S.A. Network best original television series, I got into the series during the later off of Season 1 but when they rerun the first season in time for the season finale I got hooked. Burn Notice has a strong balance of drama, comedy and action which works to make it a must watch.The series started off with the series main protagonist Michael Westen played by Jeffrey Donovan who worked as a spy for the C.I.A. only to be given a Burn Notice where that means he was fired and left with nothingno cash, no credit, no job history so they dump him in the city of Miami where he meets his trigger happy ex- girlfriend Fiona Glenanne played by Gabrielle Anwar he is more or less not thrill about his mess then he ends up having to meet his old friend who used to inform on him to the F.B.I. Sam Axe played by Bruce Campbell who ends up helping him look for work.At the start of the series Michael uses his skills as a spy to help those with problems that no one else could save kind of like "The-A Team" with Sam and Fiona helping him with the jobs. What makes Burn Notice a great show is that Jeffrey, Bruce and Gabrielle performances are very well done and they work perfectly and bounce off each other with their acting skills they also brought to life three of the best characters ever put on TV.Almost every episode is a winner for the series as each episode feature a interesting Voice over with Michael talking about life as a spy and how spies would do and use some ideas to their favor. The writing in each episode is very well crafted and you can never ever guess what would happened next as each episode makes you want more and turn it to see what will happen in the next episode. The comedy in Burn Notice is also original my two favorite quotes in the series come from Michael in the episode "Hot Spot" "Oh Somebody's in trouble but it ain't me" and from the first episode "Drop me in the middle of the Gobi Desert Bury me in a cave on the moon and somehow she find away to call me and ask me for a favor" Then he screams into a pillow. I mean the series just has something for everyone and you should give it a try with a creative story line, well crafted acting and performances from Jeffrey, Gabrielle and Bruce who work very well together this is one show to watch
dry bins Just finished watching the complete series and i have to say that burn notice was an amazing show.The combination of the characters is one of the things that i loved about it.You have the lead character,who is a super smart tough guy with a great spy skill set and the supporting cast,which is the sexy,a bit crazy,explosives expert girlfriend,the marine veteran with a drinking habit who i must say is my favorite one and the leading character's mom who becomes more lovable with every season.There are new characters coming to the show as the seasons go by and all of them are well written.Every episode is a new job for Michael and his crew and some cool stuff for him to do and for us to see.I enjoyed all of it and i recommend it to everyone who likes action series.
