Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

"Shonda Does a Caper Show!" I'm sure all the women involved in this show have jumped on the MEEETOOO!!! bandwagon. So where does this silly show fit into their self-righteous worldview? (Or any of Rhimes' tv shows, for that matter.) Co-workers having sex. Having sex with clients. Having sex with the bad guys. Having sex with shady characters. Having sex with pretty much anyone who walks across the screen. Shonda just cannot tell a story without the pretty people ending up in bed together - for really no reason at all beyond entertainment. Aren't these the women who were so shocked - SHOCKED - that men in the entertainment business have sex with willing starlets?

I liked this show for about six or seven episodes. When Mireille Enos's character began to fall again for Krause's character after he had made such a fool of her I tried to hang in there. (Maybe he was going to listen to his heart and change sides). But he seemed to want to keep on with the bad guys. Then, when The female villain, Sonya Walger, masquerades as Mureille's therapist that did it. How could she wind up as a fake therapist when she was busy conning and robbing people every moment of her life? It was too far-fetched. (How would she even know Mureille was going to need a therapist???) To have to listen to Mireille's character tell Sonya's character all about her love of the very man Sonya loved . . . . I couldn't even try to sit through it.

We are loving this show. Finding it fun, clever and entertaining. It is enjoyable, much like the old Mission Impossible series was, but with a modern look and much more intrigue and play. Life is crazy, and it is nice to come home and disappear into the fantasy of a spunky intelligent thriller. It is also nice to have that story told without the extraneous and exploitive blood, guts and gore of other shows. The characters are fleshing out slowly, and cannot be taken at face value. Each week builds nicely on the previous one, which help to draw the watcher into the growing story. Mireille Enos is fun to watch, with her Monroeish eye-flutter affectations. She is mesmerizing, and nicely underplays the roll. In fact the show has strong and interesting female rolls with Sonya Walger playing the anti-hero steamily well. Yes, they are stereotyped, but aren't most fantasies? If we wanted to watch 'real life' we would just turn off the TV!

Shonda Rhimes, the ABC Prime Time Queen, has once again given us a rare gem in dramatic entertainment. The Catch -- ABC's Mid-Season replacement for 'How To Get Away with Murder' – can be seen on Thursday's right after Scandal. Starring Mireille Enos, best known for playing detective Sarah Linden in The Killing and opposite Brad Pitt in World War Z. In The Catch, Mireille plays a successful private investigator and co private security firm owner, Alice Vaughn. In the pilot episode Alice is glowing with happiness about her upcoming nuptials to successful business man, Christopher Hall, played by Peter Krause. Peter is known for such shows as Dirty Sex Money, Six Feet Under and most recently, Parenthood. So the twist in The Catch comes when Christopher wakes Alice the day before their wedding and asks her to run away with him. She laughs him off, thinking he is being ridiculous. When she returns home she discovers he is missing, she goes to his office and finds an empty space. Finally, the 1.5 million dollars she's given him to purchase their new house is gone. Alice has a good cry a little tantrum and then picks herself up. Resolute on finding this man who has destroyed her heart, hopes and dreams Alice Vaughn goes to work. As The Catch plot develops, Christopher's love for Alice is genuine, and had she said yes to him that fateful morning when he asked her to run away he would have abandoned his con-artist life forever. But of course, that would make for a boring drama, right? So why doesn't he just drop everything and tell her he loves her? Well, the life of a con-artist is complicated. Christopher and his associates owe some very powerful bad guys a lot of money, 15 million to be exact. When the 'score' with Alice tanked, forcing the return all of the money stolen from her and her firm, Christopher's little con man team was left penniless. Christopher wants to put as much distance between Alice and ruthless associates as possible before they find out the truth about his feelings. The most eminent threat is his dominating lover played by the glorious Sonya Walger, (known for Parenthood, Lost, and even a small 2 episode stint on Scandal). Christopher, despite many attempts, is unable to let go of Alice, his pull to her is magnetic. As she gets closer to finding him, he allows it, if only to give into his needs for a short time. Awwww…so sweet. Add in The Catch sub-plots of a French Secret Service Agent also looking for Christopher Hall, Alice's wanting to keep her endeavor secret from her trusted friends, and her regular day-to-day job and you have the mixing of a dramatic masterpiece. To be honest, Alice is just as diabolical as Christopher in many ways and thus making the series so addictive. Plot twists and high fashion abound in The Catch making is visually and psychologically stimulating. The brilliance of Shonda Rhimes in my opinion is nothing is ever black and white, she loves to dabble in the gray's of the world. I put this new series to the three episode test, and it passed with flying colors, full of intrigue, romance, deception and uniquely flawed characters, The Catch is most definitely worth your time and DVR space!
