Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Bertaut A journeyman show, it's very much paint-by-numbers stuff, with nothing you haven't already seen in half-a-dozen similar narratives, as writers Normand Daneau and Geneviève Simard take no real risks. Having said that, however, it's a well made piece of television. Confidently directed by Peter Stebbings, the material may offer nothing revelatory, but what it does offer is enjoyable enough for its own sake. An excellent Peter Coyote dominates the narrative as Henry Sullivan, a retired judge with a strained relationship (to say the least) with his son, Luke (Aden Young). When his young grandson, Anthony, disappears, and the veneer of civility erodes, the fissures running through the family dynamic begin to erupt, with blame and recrimination becoming the central tenets of familial interaction. You may guess half-way through who the kidnapper is, and yes, they're one of those Hollywood type kidnappers who leave cryptic clues everywhere, but this remains a well made, if unadventurous, show.7/10
bevowen I really enjoyed watching the first 5 episodes as it was gripping. I was disappointed with the last episode as it was too rushed as if the writers made it all up last minute. The ending, when they found Anthony was unrealistic, because no-one thought to make Anthony look older. All kids grow and quickly change and this kid looked like he had gone missing the day before despite being missing for over 2 years!!! Come on, if you are going to say he has been missing for 2 years then common sense prevails that he is unlikely to look the exact same. Very lame ending too...the grandfather shooting himself to 'save' his grandson was ridiculous...if he waited 30 seconds the SWAT Team arrived and would have got Stephen Price. Thank heavens there is no reason for a second series!!
steamingdales This would be a great show if the grandfather/judge could act, His acting reminds me of the episode of Friends where Phoebe tries to act. He ruins the show and his character is annoying as hell. Also find it a bit hard to believe there would be a full investigation team looking for a cat killer.
ninasimone2018 it would be very hard to find a flaw in this series hence my highest rating which includes very good acting performance as well. The story is refreshing, very personal and emotional. Every episode keeps you on the edge of the seat and keeps you wanting more yet leaves you clueless as to what is the motive that touches the root of the family and is passed on to two generations. The final episode will climax in redemption that will be evident from the bad choices as a reaction to someone else's bad choices. The series will make you think about revenge, redemption and forgiveness as the only way to stop pain from its vicious cycle.
