A different way of telling a story

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The ridiculous opening with the bad CGI and actin to the political correctness and cliche story lines.Watch the original movie which this is based on. Save yourself some time and skip this!

Bill Paxton's passing was a shame in more ways than one. He was great on the show and I was enjoying it. I tried to think of someone to replace him and came up with one. After watching Anson Mount in Hell on Wheels I thought there is the man. The ability to fit right in with the whole idea of the show, why oh why did they not go after him?

Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell) is haunted by his LAPD detective father's mysterious killing. Deputy Chief Joy Lockhart promotes him to detective to investigate rogue cop Det. Frank Rourke (Bill Paxton) who was Kyle's father's partner. He is assigned as Frank's new trainee. The team includes Rebecca Lee and Tommy Campbell. Hollywood madam Holly Butler (Julie Benz) is Frank's romantic partner and confidential informant.This is adapted from the movie but fails to bring the intensity. Nobody can replicate Denzel. This show starts behind the eight ball. It struggles with the over-the-top style. Bill Paxton is a little too obvious. Justin Cornwell is lacking. It does recover over time but it was always an uphill battle even before Paxton's untimely death.

Although this show has the same title as the Denzel Washington movie, I see very few similarities apart from that.In the 2001 movie, Washington portrayed a 'rogue cop.' In this show, Bill Paxton portrayed a 'maverick' cop...very different!I like it, and, that's mainly because of Bill Paxton's fast-talking and smart-ass attitude. The same reason why I liked the short-lived 2010-2013 show "The Glades."Though I doubt many exist, I like the idea of a maverick cop (a maverick 'anyone') like 'Frank Rourke' who bucks the system, stands up to crooked bureaucrats, and, gets the bad guys in a world FULL of laws, but, very little justice. Cops like Jim Longworth("The Glades"); Jethro Gibbs and Tony DiNozzo("NCIS"); Frank Bullitt("Bullitt"); and, of course, Frank Callahan("Dirty Harry"). A lot of 'Franks.'Very-much different than Washington's character 'Alonzo' in the 2001 movie, yet, that's a great movie...much like "Bad Lieutenant"(1992) with Harvey Keitel.Now that Bill Paxton has died (RIP), I won't be watching this any longer if it continues. That is, unless, the trainee is assigned to another cop who's played by an actor who can fill Paxton's acting shoes.I like this show, as briefly as it lasted with Bill Paxton.I also like Bill Paxton's acting..."Apollo 13;" "A Simple Plan;" "Titanic;" "Tombstone;" "Predator 2;" and, especially, "Weird Science" and "Future Shock."A great actor...I'm missing him already!
