Wonderful character development!

The 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.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Forensic files is absolutely fascinating. Throw in the fact that each episode is only about 25 mins long and you are onto a binge viewing winner. Every episode is interesting, educational and chilling. There is a bit of cheesiness to the voiceovers - but this adds to the experience and helps you to distance yourself a little from the true horror of the reality of the crime in each episode. Once you've seen one you know what to expect in general layout of each episode - and it's always comforting knowing that you will fine out who did it every time. But despite this fact each episode brings something totally new, and usually shocking. Would recommend if you like crime dramas/movies and are too busy to get into the thick of a new time consuming TV series.

This is undeniably one of the best crime shows on TV. It's approach on suspense is top-notch and the wonderful narration is haunting. These are real life cases, with some reenactments, and it shows you how the crimes get solved with reliable forensics.It's structure is simple. We open up to a place where it gives us back-story on the victim. Then, there's a killer on the loose and the police turn to science for help. Usually, it ends on a good note, it's predictable yet hypnotic. Justice is served, so it ends with closure for the family & friends of the victim(s) and satisfaction for law enforcement. An excellent message to its target audience!UPDATE: the show is not on YouTube, watch it when you get a chance! I recommend viewing it at night time in the dark, it makes the show so interesting.

This show is well put together and on a few occasions as I viewed an episode I could recall reading about the case in the newspaper not long before. This made for an even more interesting watch. Unfortunately every time I view this program I cant help but to think that someone else out there watching is taking notes on what not to do if they are to commit a similar crime and get away with it. In this respect the content of the show is a bit unnerving because it reveals too many of law enforcements methods. I can imagine this program giving someone false hope in thinking that they could outsmart the investigators who would later try to piece together their actions. Even if that person is ultimately proved guilty, they still may have committed a crime that wouldn't have otherwise taken place had they not watched this show. I think on one hand the show is well intentioned and shares some very impressive forensic methods but on the other hand in doing so may be a little too thought provoking.

"Forensic Files" is one of the more recent entries to the list of forensics programs out there on the TV landscape, but by no means is it weak from it. In fact, the program is the best thing that Court TV offers during its prime-time lineup of factual programming and reruns of dramas such as "NYPD Blue".Let's look at the advantages "Forensic Files" has to its predecessors and to every other forensics program out there. First of all, it has the most excellent Peter Thomas as its narrator. You know the voice -- he's been the soothing grandfatherly voice behind numerous commercials for years, including some of the recent Visine ads. His calm and patient delivery allows everyone, from those just starting out with forensics programs to full-on fanatics of the genre, to get an easy grasp of the procedure the team of forensics experts used to solve the crime being highlighted in the show. This brings me to another one of the reasons this program succeeds -- it takes its time in presenting every step in the investigation so the viewer won't have any nagging, unanswered questions after the program is over. The recreations and footage used are yet another plus. In other forensics programs, you get the feeling that the people behind the program are taking some liberties with their recreations -- for example, even the dimmest of armchair detectives can tell that forensics experts gathering evidence at the scene of the crime probably don't put their evidence in bulky paper bags, which is what another popular forensics program shows in its recreations. The footage, when presented, is absolutely wonderful to see as it actually lets the viewer see a little of what was on the local news in regards to the crime at hand. One final advantage is the interview process. Investigators, family members, victims, and criminals all are interviewed and the choicest of bits are incorporated in the program. In one episode, a mother who was falsely accused of arson and premeditated murder with regards to her baby son is shown weeping openly in front of the old house that had caught on fire, and then the program ends. This leaves the viewer with the feeling that the woman is to be pitied and you feel genuine sadness at her predicament, but at the same time she was vindicated with the help of some astute forensic investigators so you feel glad because of that.Not all of what the program is about is great, though. Sometimes, the narration can go through a story in such a plodding pace that a youngun such as myself is tempted to yell at the TV for the pace to quicken up. This usually happens in my case, though, when I'm watching an episode I've already watched about twice before. Then there's the case of the Canadian expatriate con artist who murdered a Canadian business acquaintance of his so he (the con artist) could continue living under the businessman's name in England with his daughter serving as his wife. When the program about this case brought up the fact that the daughter had two children, I wanted to know more about this aspect of the case, but the program never tied up that particular loose end. I suspect, though, that this was purely because of time constraints and so I sincerely hope there's a book out there on the market on this case.At any length, if you're interested in forensics, this is a great program to watch. I don't watch it as much as I used to because of lack of free time,but when I do I genuinely enjoy it. I think the key to the program really is Peter Thomas, though. He can do no wrong.
