Nonureva Really Surprised!
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
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.
Maedhros35 I'm more-or-less forced to watch this horrible show (with daily reruns on the local cable), and and can't see what people like about it. It has no heroes: everyone is a cold-blooded murderer / terrorist. The "counter-terrorism" of Section-One amounts to the same terrorism they say they battle, including wanton torture, executions and kidnapping (everyone in section one is basically kidnapped). Not to mention the fact that the psychopath called Operations pisses of the most deadly secret agents of the company on a daily basis and still seems to get away from it.Add to this the bleary decor, the "whispering" that seems to be meant to indicate threat and the repetitive setup of each episode, and my abjection is complete.
zinka-2 I really enjoy this film and I think it was great. I look forward to seeing the next season! Maybe Roy Dupuis is not as handsome as Michael is in my mind:) but as an actor he is absolutely great! I also like Walter. But or me it was hard to understand the fact how he got to the section one - because he always try hard to be nice for everyone. The main reason that i watched this film was that I like watching men with a gun on TV screen. Of course it was a fantastic idea to create a love plot which made this film more interesting and sometimes quite mysterious.Write me back if you agree: [email protected]
clifwalters I just finished watching the first two seasons and a few episodes from the third season on DVD. This is the classic of classic "Noir". No show in history has offered the intrigue, the sexual tension, and the originality offered by this show. The show's creators have gone on to make the super hit "24", God Bless them. Peta Wilson and Roy Dupuis create romantic fireworks for this show's fans like no other production since "Gone with the Wind" (and all this without profanity). There are no better sets than those created by Rocco Mateo, who actually puts you in another world somewhere in the near future. I doubt that the cast, crew and creators could have envisioned just how good this show was when they created the episodes with a ridiculously low budget. The writing proved to be like a prophecy: immediately after the show ended, the idea of a covert anti-terrorist organization would seem much more interesting and relevant. Congratulations to all who had a hand in creating the new Morte D'Arthur (Nikita-Gwenivere, Michael-Sir Gallahad, and Section-King Arthur). LFN Fans still yearn for more episodes of this, the most highly addictive TV show in history.
oceanair3 Get ready for a series that is a class act. This is top notch entertainment at it's best. I only hope to see a series as good as this again in my life. Bravo! Roy Dupuis has made his own that which is hidden in the core of all human beings but discernible in few actors to this degree. This man is connected interiorly in a way that makes him beautiful to watch: beauty in motion. Some actors acrobatics of technique without depth, leave me feeling flat and uninspired. They lack a digested understanding of who they are. Roy Dupuis is the antithesis of this. Deeply connected to himself, an almost unspoken spirituality is conveyed through his eyes. Without saying a word this actor has the power to deeply effect you. A humble strength emerges from a deep inner awareness of who he is mixed with a humility that has to be owned before it can be acted. And to the viewer understood before it can be seen. Anyone writing this actor off as not noteworthy is probably also walking by the perfume of roses, saying there is no beauty or heavenly fragrance left anywhere. Roy Dupuis is an enormous boon to the best series I've ever seen in my life. What is so captivating about this show is that it fills that human need to see who we are in the fullness of our humanity when that very thing is stripped of us and not allowed to be. At first glance it may appear all the key players in Section One are ruthless, uncaring human beings. However, the reality is these actors, especially Roy, (because of his choice of characterization) have had to shut down and hide their humanity in order to survive the Section, while still letting us see who they are. Cloaked in his "dark" Euro-slick wardrobe Michael is cool incarnate. How cool? It's never been this cool. There is a reason there is such a demand for this series. When life and death hang in the balance moment by moment, and still you see Michael and Nikita willing to die for each other, you feel your own humanity touched a little, and you want more of this series that takes you a little deeper than the rest of what's on the market for our viewing. Like I said, get ready for a series that is a class act. This is top notch entertainment at it's best. Bravo!
