Sorry, this movie sucks

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

but the last three episodes have been as good as anything on TV this season. If it was on FX, it would have a large viewership. The story is great and the acting uniformly superb and I enjoy the way the story has been progressing in each episode. The penultimate episode which I watched today has me hungry for more. AUD has scored a big hit with this one in my books.

In this series, the criminals are bad, the cops are bad, and amorality is what rules both the days (gray and shadowy) and the nights. Filthy language without any real underlying utility or character dimension of, let's say, a series like "Deadwood", and sex scenes that are pornographic. The acting is sluggish and relentlessly gloomy, and so with the bleak cinematography, the absence of any primarily morally grounded characters, endless cursing, and sex scenes that are too gratuitous for words, one feels filthy just for watching more than one episode. Thandie Newton is monotonous, whiny, and ultimately too depressing to listen to in her role, and the lead bad guy is also monotonous to listen to, but worse, he cannot do an American accent while trying to hide his native accent, and the other actors have no high points to which they can aspire because of how absolutely dreary the story line continues to be. It is a non-stop slog through crud and grime which that will not wash off. Original programming it certainly is, but that says very little, well actually nothing in this case, in terms of offering a compelling story and character dimension, quality, and the promise of any fulfilling payoff for watching this series. If your idea of good television drama is watching the story of chronic bottom-feeding by lost degenerates, then have at it, but for me it's pure trash.

Season 1 of Rogue was top notch entertainment from the marvelous acting, great photography, excellent music, and most of all, a clever, evolving, engrossing script that manages to keep you guessing right up to the last episode. Thandie Newton (Condoleeza Rice from "W") gives a spell-binding performance week after week, and she is matched by Ian Tracey, Ian Hart, Joshua Sasse, and Marton Csokas. The real treat here is how well the supporting actors do, from sexy Leah Gibson to Claudia Ferri, and Rachel Shelley, but to me the scene stealer is young Sarah Jeffery who plays Thandie's daughter. Kudos to Matthew Parkhill in his first outing as a producer and special mention to composer Jeff Toyne and Emmy winning photographer Kieran McGuigan ("Bleak House").This series is not for the squeamish and there is a lot of murder, mayhem and nudity. Season 2 was a bit of a disappointment in every respect. although it did have its moments.Season 3 was a complete change of pace and may be startling for long time viewers as Cole Hauser (introduced in Season 2) takes over the leadership of the series. But don't lose heart, Hauser proves to be as captivating as Newton and the quality of the scripts, after an awkward transition, only get better.Season 4 is great - a challenge to Season 1. The final episode is TV at its very best.

I think the show is marketed the wrong way. From the synopsis, you would think it is about a undercover cop seeking revenge. This actually turn some people off because they think it is very cliché. Ask me how I know.I thought the same thing too and was very unwilling to watch. I did not changed my mind after watching the pilot but it the pace was entertaining enough and I quite like Newton so I continue to watch. By episode 3 onwards, i was hooked and even more so. By episode 7 and 8, I really loved it. The show have enough twist and turn and very good acting. The finale tied up 90% of the loose ends and solved the mystery. I hate shows that leaves up with a big cliffhanger even worse if there is no subsequent season. So you can watch this knowing that the mystery will be solved and you can have closure.I am looking forward to season 2 but even if its not renewed, I did not wasted the 10 hours I spent on season 1.Beside Newton,I loved the Matthew Beard who play MAX. Ian Tracy who played Lucas Mitch is also great. He also acting in Bates Motel and Continuum but I think he is best here !Marton Csokas who played Jimmy and Joshua Sasse are also good for their roles.
