Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

When I bought it, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I bought it mainly because it had Joe Flanigan in and I love his work in Stargate: Atlantis, so I thought 'why not?' Now, I've only had it a couple of weeks and have seen it so many times. It's my favourite film in my collection.For a film that wasn't promoted or that I'd ever heard of...it's unbelievably good. The storyline keeps you hooked till the end, even if you've seen it before. You always pick something new up every time you watch it...be the chemistry between the two lead roles...or an extra line of dialogue you didn't hear right the first time. It keeps me entertained.I give it 10.

Thought Crimes arrived on the UK DVD market without much fanfare. I rented it, expecting a cheap B-movie. What I got was a very enjoyable story. I've since shown it to friends, who unanimously agree about its virtues.The story is about a girl who unwillingly receives telepathic powers. She can hear other people's thoughts. After being driven mad by it, she gets picked up by a mysterious scientist, who trains her to develop her powers, and target them. Soon, she is asked to assist in helping with an investigation.The movie is well-written, and many pathways for sub-plots and story lines are opened. Some are closed, but quite a few remain open, suggesting that this was meant to start a series. It's a thrilling movie, with a fairly original concept, dramatic moments that are convincing without getting too sappy and crucially, a sense of humour. It is comparable to Wheddon's various series (Firefly, Buffy et al) in its qualities. (Except for one deplorably bad line of dialogue in a crucial scene near the end) In terms of the acting, most people do a fairly good job. The male NSA agent / hero lays on the charme a bit thick, but I suspect the script forced that anyway. Maybe I just dislike male good-looking actors.I highly recommend this movie for light entertainment purposes. It's more original and enjoyable than most big Hollywood movies these days, and it deserves a larger audience (and a spin off TV series!)

I enjoyed Thought Crimes. Not only is Navi Rawat gorgeous, but she proved, at least as far as I'm concerned, that her acting abilities extend well beyond a walk on character for The OC. Nice to see that the 90's demise of ThirySomething didn't completely end Peter Horton's career but I don't expect he'll win any awards for his performance. All in all, it's a show I would definitely watch. I wouldn't sit at home on Friday nights just to see it, but it's definitely TiVo worthy. I hope it's not just another one-hit-wonder but only time will tell. As fir the overall concept, let's face it, not much is original these days but a fine little hottie like Rawat could make even an infomercial keep my attention. It's nice to know that just because you hear voices doesn't mean you can't still get a job in Hollywood.

I just saw 'Thought Crimes' and was very impressed. The plot was well written and the characters were very fleshed out, in part, due to the fact that we could hear what most of them were thinking.I think as the movie progressed, we found out what it was like for Freya to come to terms with her gift, and because she was more at ease with it, we were able to see some of the less serious aspects of mind reading. "Scooby dooby doo, where are you, we got some work to do now..."Rare is the TV-Movie that captures the perfect blend of action/drama/humor, but I think 'Thought Crimes' really hit the nail on the head.10/10
