Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Macerat It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

paulp-29549 Sometimes "over the top" works (Fargo) but the drippy but pretentious protagonist simply bores and annoys. As well, the cliched backdrop of a big mining company doing bad things in a small town hardly adds to interest levels.

william_morris I think I'd have been so much happier if I'd stopped at episode 5 or so: I would have had no plot resolution, but I'd have not been there long enough to see the show get so dreadful. After Jack goes off the rails the story follows his lead and just gets sloppier and sloppier, until by the end we're left with situations and dialog that are uncomfortably, even comically, implausible. It's got more subplots than in an overfilled graveyard. And why take your protagonist and make him a horribly unlikeable person so late in the game that there's no room for a redemption arc? Ultimately his story isn't interesting enough to justify the number of people trying to kill him and at the end I don't care if Jack lived or died. I *love* Tim Roth, but except for a few brilliant flashes he's got nothing to do. (And while we're at it, the show has an aggressively unpleasant soundtrack that obscures any dialog it plays over, especially given Roth's south-London accent.)

chucktdogg I love Tim Roth. I love crime dramas. I love the mountains. That being said, this is the single worst show I have ever seen. Now, I don't watch CSI or NCIS or any of those kinds of show, so maybe those are worse, but I really doubt it. I am not a troll. Let me explain why this is so bad.1) Cartoon character villains. Normal enough in many shows. 2) Characters that have strange motivations that really make little or no sense. 3) Horrible dialogue. Some of the lines make no sense what so ever. One line in particular stood out to me as being absolutely nonsensical. Two guys are talking about a robbery. The one guy says something to the effect of We have to postpone the robbery because we will be looking at "4 to life." No where can your possible outcome for a crime be 4 to life. That is asinine. 4) A completely incoherent plot. Killers who act like a sociopath one moment, or episode, and who act like they are filled with emotion in others. Jumps of logic that make no sense. Characters who come to conclusions based on small bits of information and make wild jumps to judgement and action based on those small bits. 5)The main character (Tim Roth) is supposed to be this total bad ass. But why? it isn't shown very well, if at all. And Tom Roth is not an imposing figure by any stretch. He doesn't even act crazy or anything either to indicate a "loose canon". 6) The wife, who is hurt in a brutal way seems fine to walk around after a few days of getting out of a coma, like nothing ever happened. 7) The wife seems to go back and forth without any reason of how to deal with certain issues in no logical way. 8) Christina Hendricks (Mad men) has some of the worst acting I have seen in a long time. I think she is very talented, but not in this. I could go on. But I won't. It is a horrible TV show. Horrible anything. I am shocked it was made, and I was shocked Tim Roth had anything to do with it. Avoid.

robinrid Tim Roth, Genevieve O'Reilly and the rest of the cast are utterly superb in this. Best thing we have seen Roth in – perfect - he makes it look SO easy/nature - what a Star! We REALLY want to see more of Genevieve O'Reilly - what a talent. Great story,pace,location and writing – very Fargo-esq. More of 'this kind of thing' please!
