Good story, Not enough for a whole film
... View MoreFantastic!
... View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreIn general, the acting and story lines are below average. A lot of the roles/castings are not believable. The best acting/role combination is by Brian Goodman as Donovan Stubbin (Malloy's right-hand man). He's very businesslike and believably violent. I think Leslie Hope is a great actress and is very intense, but the role she plays is not believable. Her character seems to be a little out of control to be in her position with the FBI. Still I think she's quite a good actress.I like David Paymer as an actor, but as a mob boss? Sorry, I can't see it. He's no Tony Soprano. (Why is he the mob boss again?).The rest look like the cast of a daytime soap opera...and the acting...also from a soap opera. Leslie Bibb (as Paige Van Doren) in particular, looks like a lost little girl. If you're going to play a cop, then act like a cop. I don't think she'll ever be able to pull it off. She is not a cop by any stretch. Anson Mount as Roy Ravelle looks like the leading man of the soap. He's really boring. He is not a cop by any stretch either.I'm going to wait a while though. What else is there to watch on network TV?
... View Morethis show could be strong of ABC as long as they maintain the feud between the malloy crime family and the FBI. The main problem i have with this show is the plain stereotypical politically correct characters. The fact that one agent is a strong single mother and the other is a widow from 9-11 who constantly brings it up is kinda annoying. As long as this show maintains the fbi vs mafia storyline and does not begin to focus on the personal lives of the stereotypical agents it should be pretty good.
... View MoreNow, the advertisements for this show made me laugh. I am a college student in Richmond, Virginia. Although once the murder capital of the United States, and right now, we are currently the STD and AIDS capital, (something to really be proud of). Richmond has never experienced an underground mob, nor do we have many FBI agents wandering around. Richmond's life revolves around the three large state universities in the heart of the city. Nothing as interesting as Line Of Fire ever happens here. However, I do find myself watching each week in order to catch glimpses of places I recognize. Odd how the background of thier publicity photo is the same thing I see out of my window each day. This is my second year in Richmond and I've seen many large movies being filmed here. Never has a show stayed to be filmed in Richmond. I look forward to starsearching. ;)
... View MoreThis could develop into an interesting program. The use of Richmond as a backdrop is refreshing. The city offers locations more interesting than the housing projects of Baltimore. So far, the location scenes and the references to Richmond have been accurate. I hope this continues.Believability suffers when you see an FBI killed while standing straight up in front of a bad guy with a gun instead of going for cover. And later when, a bunch of bad guys jump out of car with guns on what should be a busy dock, but there is no one to notice.Leslie Hope as the SAC, could become one of the best female police characters currently on TV if given the chance. The female trainee agent is made to hate. I hope she becomes a more believeable character.
