Really Surprised!

Am I Missing Something?

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

"It's about cons conning cons. For the sake of the little guy." This is how I describe this show to anyone who asks why I love this show so much. It's in my top 5 shows I can rewatch over and over without a problem. Reasons: -Each character is strong, not just in "their own way," as the cliche goes, but in a real cool way to make each memorable. -Each episode (except the 2-part S1 finale) has a different con and scheme. -It goes out of the way to offer something fresh and inspiring. -Every time I watch it, it still gets funnier, more heartwrenching. -No villain feels half-baked or barely worth the time to be dealt with. -By the series finale, everything feels complete, no plot holes.When you have such strong characters, memorable villains, evocative themes, relevant thoughts, very good writing (no matter who's writing for which season), how can I possibly pass it up? As Sophie Devreaux says in season 5, "It's a personal thing, you know?"

I don't remember watching all the TV program of Leverage, but what i did manage to watch i loved.I since collected all the series on DVD and i can still watch them over and over again, which to me is very rare and a joy and is never boring.I loved the characters, their interactions and their development and i think the show could have lasted much longer.I was a bit disappointed that there would be no more leverage, i think that in some ways it may have went under the radar for a lot of people, i know for a fact that some times i missed it on TV and not because i wasn't interested, but sometimes i did not realise it was back on etc.I hope that leverage could return, whether with TV series or movie idea and i hope that the team will come together again. But in the mean time i will continue to watch the series over and over and i just found out about leverage books today.I wish all the actors and crew of Leverage well and thank you its been a joy to watch.

A Foot in Mouth: Brutally Honest Review.***Contains Spoilers*** Leverage in my mind is an example of how to make an extremely entertaining, engaging and very fun TV shows with some outstanding casting, very well written characters and some of the quirkiest story lines is a beautifully executed ice cream cone of perfection. Yummy! I was really upset when they cancelled this show after season 5, but I really think they should bring it back! The premise of the show is essentially a group of the 4 best highly skilled criminal operatives in the world ranging from a hacker, grafter, cat burglar and a hitter are brought together under the supervision of an ex-insurance investigator to pull a heist that goes slightly wrong, so then they start to help average everyday people get leverage over large corporations, millionaires, the authorities and pretty much anyone who tries to screw over us honest hardworking everyday people.One of the most important things for me is not only the portrayal of the characters on screen but the chemistry of the characters, if I am invested in the characters and their mates I don't care what the story is I will watch it, examples: Castle, NCIS, NCIS: LA, NCIS: New Orleans, Person of Interest, CSI, Elementary, Death in Paradise The thing that shines throughout these TV shows is not only a phenomenal cast and the writing, but the relationships between the characters.Leverage has an amazing cast who play some very lovable characters with their physical, emotional and verbal banter with the backing of their dramatic, flawed and charismatic performances, with a teaspoon of deliciously funny and a dollop of whipped quirkiness and not forgetting a chocolate flake this show has everything you want. Except the flake that's mine!

This show was what I turned to when I couldn't get any more 'Breaking In' and thought it would be a slightly more serious version of the show. It is more serious but definitely has its comic moments. I would (and do) recommend this to anyone who asks for a show that is fun, light-hearted and perfect for when you want to watch something without having to concentrate too much (After work/school and when sick…).The very first episode was kind of Bleh!, in that the fight scenes were too good to be relatable and some of the camera angles (And other directing decisions but I already had the whole first season and found that after the pilot episode it picked up. Of course this is to be expected as the pilot is a base and shows pick up and focus on their flaws and such for episode 2 onwards. If you are wanting to watch this, give it at least to episode 4 or so before making your judgement call.All in all, I love it!
