Crappy film

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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

Some series can just captivate you. They draw you in and keep you glued to the screen. That's when it has a good story, great acting, but most of all it is about getting to like the main characters. I have no clue what the writers of this series had in mind. Clever thefts can be exciting. You admire the way the evil-doers do a smart job in planning and executing the crime, Outsmart everybody, get away with a lot of money and feel relieved if they made it. These characters were all very unsympathetic robots and yeah robots don't have any emotion. We're dealing with psychopaths here. The storyline wasn't so great. The acting was poor. Is it any wonder that only 7 episodes made it on TV? One Big Turkey.

after watching many of the balance of the episodes on DirecTV's 101, i'm puzzled why this didn't get more that a showing of the pilot.interesting characters. definite possibilities for the direction the show might have gone. all the characters might have great back stories that would give the writers an option to move beyond the mere caper plot of other similar series.the second to the last episode on 101 suggested the background for simon baker's character and suggested a little redemptive option.and the same episode hints at the history of ray liotta's and virginia madsen's troubled relationship.ah well, another example of 'if i like it, they'll cancel it.'

Did I read right? This series was ditched by a US network? Talk about a prophet unrecognized in his own country. "Smith" is US film-making at its best--tightly written, filmed with panache, great characterization (particularly Ray Liotta), haunting but understated score. Great stuff--and I'm hooked. The concept of a family man (Liotta) leading a double life combining a normal domestic routine, a boring job and a criminal sideline is original and dramatically daring but it works wonderfully, thanks to the delicate interplay between Liotta and his screen wife (Virginia Madsen, whose ode to the vine in "Sideways" belongs in a compendium of the best modern prose). Thank goodness a discerning distributor(Cinemax) picked up "Smith," patted him on the back and sent him off to Asia, for the entertainment of us benighted exiles.

I can't believe this show was canceled. Another case of self-censorship. How sad. This show was the coolest thing on TV. I loved hating these characters. Not every show needs to be a morality tale. This was an im-moraity tale. It's pathetic how terrified the populace is.From the all star cast to the magnificent plot lines, this show was different. It's easy to be the same. I highly recommend it. Download it from through itunes, it's worth it.America is losing it's place as the nation where ideas are developed. It's becoming a bottomless pit of bland conformity. Soon, we'll all be characters in some blurred out reality show.
