Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
clintstevens After binge watching NCIS, and loving it, I moved on to Criminal Minds, hoping for the same satisfaction. Unfortunately, the plots are formulaic and predictable, with usually the same conclusion at the end. The team (the serious leader, the hunky black dude, the cute mother, the brainy boyish guy (who I swear is gay, and if not, should be), the retired agent/writer that decides he wants back in, and a rotating mature female) is notified of a serial killer (how many serial killers ARE there?) and take their always available jet to the location ('Wheels up in 30.') Does the team carry around a suitcase for these cases? They are usually greeted by law personnel who grudgingly accept their help ('We're here to assist with your investigation .') They immediately profile the 'unsub' and describe them to a 'T', incredible since most of the time there are few clues. The token wacky and slightly unattractive member stays at the office where she can search online for anything and everything in a matter of seconds ('What do you have for me, baby girl?') The victims all beg for their lives ('You don't want to do this.', 'I promise I won't tell anyone.'). Occasionally one of the team members tries pseudo hypnotism on witnesses and always comes away with some clues to help solve the case ('Close your eyes and think back to that night...') And the victim's relatives vent their anger at the team ('Why are you standing here talking? You should be out there looking!') Of course the team magically figures out who the culprit is and where they are located ('You'll want to see this.', 'You two take the house, we'll take the workplace.') Nine times out of ten, the killer surrenders after one of the team members tricks the killer into letting the victim go by being sympathetic ('I understand your pain and anger.') And with a fitting quote from some famous person, narrated by a team member, they fly back home, ready for the next serial killer to strike.
Alice C This used to be a great show, with great characters and story lines. It has more or less followed the trajectory of L&O SVU. The main characters slowly left, they ran out of original storylines and the writing and new casting was taken over by SJW types. Case in point, most stories now have a political agenda like using a different acronym for ACLU starting with an A so there is no misunderstanding and having them attacked by a right wing extremist white supremacist group. Yeah, no political agenda there. And the cast now has no chemistry and is just a mix of token representations of an Asian, an African American, women, wussy men etc. There is no manly men on this show anymore. There are no characters you care about or storylines of any interest. You just get ripped from the headline hit pieces and liberal talking points promoting illegal immigration, knocking traditional values etc. This is officinally no longer on the DVR to record. Not even accidentally funny, just a cautionary tale on what happens when a show goes on too long and is hijacked with PC BS.
maddydriver-69200 Absolutely love it! Have watched every episode and never get sick of it. Thought it would lose steam once Morgan and Hotch left but nope! Still awesome!!
nicktatta Then you realize that their tried and true algorithm for success gets a bit drab...you can actually call who loves and dies...when they cut to what scene....it's well done....but it's time to hang up the hat. Fantastic run, please stop now.
