BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Terryfan Crisis did have something that you don't see too much anymore: Original.The plot for the series was pretty original as Crisis center around FBI Special Agent Susie Dunn (Rachael Taylor) and Secret Service Special Agent Marcus Finley (Lance Gross) have to join forces to help find and save students of Washington,D.C. children who were kidnapped. With the rest of the cast being Dermot Mulroney, James Lafferty, Stevie Lynn Jones, Halston Sage, Michael Beach, Max Martini, Gillian Anderson.The show is interesting that it feature some good acting and some interesting character development and tense moments. But the show lack on some of the story because you can't always focus on one type of story line and why NBC cancelled the show. But still Crisis did feature some good thing such as the music in the series was pretty good, the characters become more interesting as you watch the show, some plot twist you won't see coming and sometimes you'll be wondering the good guys from the bad.The show did feature some psychological factors that would play tricks on your mind. Each character bring something to the show which is now a rare thing so actually Crisis did have some promises it's just that it lasted for one season.But with the story being what it is I would consider this to be like a mini series of course.Just give Crisis some time you'll be surprise

mellitafernando I thought Crisis was an awesome show. Every episode kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. I loved the story line and the cast were amazing. I particularly liked the chemistry between Rachel Taylor and Lance Gross. I would've liked to have seen a romantic relationship develop between the two. I thought Dermot Mulroney's acting was flawless. I'm used to seeing him in more comedic roles, my favorite being Michael O'Neal in My Best Friend's Wedding. But after seeing his portrayal of Francis Gibson, I realize he is so versatile and talented and I think he should act in more of these action thriller type series. I was a bit disappointed that they killed off James Lafferty's character Mr Nash. It was great seeing him on TV again after One Tree Hill and I would have liked to have seen him play more of a pivotal role. This show appeals to a wide range of audience from teenagers to adults. I know because I have a big family and we were all so addicted to this show. I have no idea why it got canceled! Please bring it back!

SnoopyStyle The kids of some powerful people are on a field trip. Their bus is hijacked. Secret service agent Marcus Finley (Lance Gross) is given a new assignment to protect the president's son. He manages to rescue one kid and he's teamed up with FBI agent Susie Dunn (Rachael Taylor). She has a secret daughter who's on the bus. Her sister Meg Fitch (Gillian Anderson) is a powerful woman who assumed the mother role for the girl. Francis Gibson (Dermot Mulroney) is a father of one of the kids and is secretly the brains behind the kidnappings. He's on a vendetta against a mysterious scheme from CIA head.This is a very unbelievable unreasonable show. The only thing is that I could buy into it because people would do anything to get their kids back. That's the point that I could always cling to. The scheme and the action moves fast enough that I don't dwell on any clunky moments. It's definitely better than another similar show 'Hostages'. It has its moments as long as you don't think about it too much. It's a midseason replacement that was canceled before it finished its first half season.

F Mulder We often look to TV and movies for escapism. Escape to a land where anything is possible: people are larger than life, circumstances are at the fringe of the impossible. But Crisis is just nonsense. The children of our most powerful and richest citizens have been kidnapped, not for ransom, but to have leverage over their parents. The kidnappers proceed to utilize the parents for their own bidding. The purpose seems to be revenge for something the government sanctioned years ago. As horrible things happen to the parents, FBI, CIA and Secret Service, the children are held captive in a mansion, playing out some version of Peyton Place, seemingly unaware that they have been kidnapped and their lives are in danger. None of these children seem very frightened. It's just more of the petty garbage you'd expect in the halls of their over-privileged high school. As for the parents and the government agents: not a one does anything according to plan. They all seem to think they have to take matters into their own hands. The lead FBI and CIA agents are now working with the kidnappers, unbeknownst to their superiors. And the female kidnapper at the computer seems to have an enormous amount of access to everything. The original premise was interesting, although an obvious attempt to capitalize of the success of similar (and far superior shows). The journey the show is taking as a result of the pilot has swayed far beyond the limits of believable. That is the real crisis.
