If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
... View MoreThe 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.
... View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreI've watched all the 13 episodes. In a nutshell: Good idea but bad execution. 3 things ruin this show; 1-Superficial characters (Absolutely no character development, as if watching walking trees around). 2-Too many plot holes (With each episode number of plot holes increase and after some point you begin to take notes of especially the names of some forgettable characters). 3-Too many unnecessary scenario maneuvers (Instead of "clever twists", producers, with reasons not known to audience, have chosen to cripple the whole show) Also too much US power propaganda really annoys (Really? Again?). Bottom line: I do not recommend !!!
... View MoreI thought Crisis was an awesome show. Every episode kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. I loved the story line and the cast were amazing. I particularly liked the chemistry between Rachel Taylor and Lance Gross. I would've liked to have seen a romantic relationship develop between the two. I thought Dermot Mulroney's acting was flawless. I'm used to seeing him in more comedic roles, my favorite being Michael O'Neal in My Best Friend's Wedding. But after seeing his portrayal of Francis Gibson, I realize he is so versatile and talented and I think he should act in more of these action thriller type series. I was a bit disappointed that they killed off James Lafferty's character Mr Nash. It was great seeing him on TV again after One Tree Hill and I would have liked to have seen him play more of a pivotal role. This show appeals to a wide range of audience from teenagers to adults. I know because I have a big family and we were all so addicted to this show. I have no idea why it got canceled! Please bring it back!
... View MoreCrisis is a fairly unique show these days. I like it and look forward to seeing it each week. My biggest critique with this show is the production staff's lack of volume control. It's loud.. it's soft.. it's loud again. Constantly. Good plot, good cast - moves along really well but I'm forever having to adjust the blasted volume.. background music should be just that.. in the background. I can understand the need to do that with a really slow moving plot, you know, just to keep viewers awake but it's not needed with crisis. Sure, some may be unrealistic but I am not turning on a documentary - it's entertainment. I'm also really enjoying the interior shots of the "mansion". Good camera work on top of a good plot. I think we will see some of the younger actors go further once this story plays out.
... View MoreActed like a telenovela in English, the character development is almost as weak as the overacting is excessive. This reminds me of a cheap soap opera or "drama" from the WB network in the early '90's. The plot is weak, the dialogue is dry and simple, and the overall production value is average at best. Definitely not a show to watch when there are so many other options available that bring at least something to the table. This is as weak attempt at copying 24, Homeland, and a myriad of other dramas. It reminds me more of the early '90's movie "Toy Soldiers" than anything it attempts to duplicate, except it can't even claim Sean Austin as part of the cast.
