It is a performances centric movie

Instant Favorite.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Hi, enjoyed the series, just wish you could have done more seasons. Hope you do think of starting a new series.

This was one of the best shows on the air. It had a talented and likable cast. Snappy and hilarious humor abounded on this show. I even adored the camera work. I loved the shots going from the street, thru the back of the dry cleaners and down the stairs to the units secret headquarters. You saw those shots more often during the shows original short term run when Sean Whalen played resident historian on the show. I have been a fan of that hottie Michael Landes since his days as "Jimmie the photographer" on Lois and Clark the New Adventures of Superman. I was so happy to see him on this show. He can act, he's got great comic timing and he's got the wise-cracking, smart-aleck persona down-pat. Although he had great chemistry with the curvy, tough yet vulnerable "Kate", he seemed to have even more so with Carl the gnome. I loved watching them share screen time. In my opinion there was no better episode than the premiere. You have to see it to truly appreciate what they were trying to do with this series. Of course UPN being UPN canceled this show. What were they thinking? Probably the same thing they were thinking when they canceled NOWHERE MAN, one of the best and most mysterious shows EVER. They replaced that show with "Homeboys in Outerspace". I can't even put my outrage into words. UPN makes some really crap--- choices. Anyway I hope to one day be able to either tape these shows off of cable or buy their collections. GREAT STUFF!!! Feel free to write to me.

Well, Special Unit 2 was canceled in 02/2002. It's a shame. It was one of the most creative and funny shows to come across the small screen in some time. The quick witted, sharp tongued characters were the perfect match for the utter "campy-ness" of the show's premise. Sheer genius. Let's hope UPN decides to bring this one back.

Special Unit 2 is interesting and all that, even if it is derivative of Men In Black. I would like to point out three things, however. One is that the writers are too quick to go for the cheap joke. The second is that the establishing shots occupy too much camera time - they're visual candy that take up the slack in what would otherwise be weak scripts. The final point also involves the establishing shots: they're the only thing Chicago about the show. Action shots could be in Anytown, USA. As a former resident of Chicago, I enjoy seeing films and shows set there, but only when they're REALLY there. "Early Edition" and "Reasonable Doubts" filled the bill on location; "SU2" doesn't. If the producers want to give us Chicago, they should give us all of it, not half there and half in L.A. I'll watch it, but I won't necessarily wait for a commercial to make a trip to the can.
