Simply Perfect

Just perfect...

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Easy to watch, enjoyable series. I hope there's a series 2

The overall premise of a team being created to rescue stolen children is interesting and heartwarming. But I'm not sure if the delivery is quite there. To start with, a young girl was rescued from her abductors 15 years ago and, in adult life, she's turned into some 'un-caped' crusader who is asked to join a special FBI team that rescues abducted children. She is allowed to to enter premises armed with a sidearm and assist in arresting assailants! Ok, the character proved early on that she can shoot straight, but that's only part of law enforcement training...you have to know when to shoot, who to shoot and be trained in realistic, stressful scenarios to prove yourself. And when did the FBI have access to Air Force 2? The plane that is at their beck and call is a ringer (with an upside down paint job) for the Vice-President's Boeing 757! I love shows like Criminal Minds, NCIS, Law & Order etc. and am hoping that this show can pick up it's game.

If you've always been a fan of Chris Noth, whether he's playing Mike Logan or Mr Big or that guy in The Good Wife, you'll enjoy Gone. The stories are well written, and, happily, entirely realistic, and the acting is perfectly pitched - no scenery chewing, but enough emotion to keep the viewer entertained.Leven Rambin is excellent as the female lead - she does a very commendable mix of tough, smart, and vulnerable, and works well with Noth, Danny Pino, and the regulation nerdy guy.And the funky, high-tech plane the team gets around in is a real treat - it's a nicely original take on the currently fashionable, ultra-sophisticated investigation tools cop shows use these days.The cast has obviously gelled quickly, and their combined professionalism delivers an interesting, very watchable, show.

Noth is truly the best actor of the group, while main star Leven comes off way over the top where shes a distraction. However the WORST is the Hacker/Gay character played by whoever that guy is. He is HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. I couldnt finish the pilot because he was so annoying.
