mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

wholeheartfriend Some series can just captivate you. They draw you in and keep you glued to the screen. That's when it has a good story, great acting, but most of all it is about getting to like the main characters. I have no clue what the writers of this series had in mind. Clever thefts can be exciting. You admire the way the evil-doers do a smart job in planning and executing the crime, Outsmart everybody, get away with a lot of money and feel relieved if they made it. These characters were all very unsympathetic robots and yeah robots don't have any emotion. We're dealing with psychopaths here. The storyline wasn't so great. The acting was poor. Is it any wonder that only 7 episodes made it on TV? One Big Turkey.

unicornpeg2003 Sorry but I just can't buy a show that tries to evoke sympathy for criminals. I'm tired of having television present the underbelly of life as being attractive and exciting. It does have a great cast but I will not be watching this show again. I would love to see this wonderful group of actors in a better vehicle. The story line is weak, the action is fair and the entire time I kept wondering about the purpose of this series. Ray Liotta seems to be walking through his lines without really believing in them. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets yanked before the end of the season. There are better shows out there in which to invest viewing time. Heroes is excellent and does not have any big stars. Jericho looks like it has promise. I think I'll be sticking with some of the usual mainstays such as all the Law & Orders and CSIs. All in all--not worth watching this dud.

lawrynh It is my feeling that "Smith" could evolve into an absorbing crime drama. Its sparse dialog is neither tedious nor a turn-off, and the lack of 'treacly music' during the family scenes is decidedly a plus. In addition to stars Liotta and Madsen, one might single out Simon Baker, whose past credits include the gripping neonoir film L.A. Confidential (1997), and Jonny Lee Miller, who was cast in "Prime Suspect 3" (1993), arguably the best of that series. Although granted that early in "Smith" we still know little about the characters played by these and the other members of the cast, my prediction is that future episodes will, like the layers of an onion being peeled away, reveal their past misdeeds, almost surely to haunt them as things progress. The viewer might anticipate with some relish that a couple of the characters, who love fast living and fast cars, and flaunt both, are indeed cruising for a bruising.Which is not to say there aren't certain aspects that don't ring true. Given that the heist which unfolds in the pilot, whose nature I shall not reveal, is not normally associated with violence, it doesn't seem likely there is not more anger, censure, and repercussion from the naughty persons on-high when things do go awry and assuredly cause law enforcement to be far more attentive and relentless in its pursuit of the crime.Viewers and producers alike need to stay the course until "Smith" gets its stride. The network ought not lose its courage in presenting something different, as happened with other dark and delicious crime dramas, such as "EZ Streets" in the mid-1990s and "Dream Street" in the late 1980s, soon pulled from the fall line-up. There has to be something different out there than silly clichés, canned laughter, and predictable and soon shopworn series.

Lisa John Wells' new show is by far the most original show I've seen on network TV in years. Ray Liotta, Amy Smart and Simon Baker are extremely effective in their roles as members of a gang of sophisticated thieves who lead otherwise normal lives. Virginia Madsen is also effective in her role as Ray Liotta's spouse.The premiere episode was outstanding and I could not wait to see the second episode, which was even better than the pilot. The writing is terrific, the action is well-paced and suspenseful and while the characters are perhaps amoral, they are well drawn and I found myself wanting to know more about each one of them...Edgy, fascinating and flawless!
