... View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
... View MoreI can't wrap my brain around it. How can anyone who has seen 'The Wire' from which' cast was heavily borrowed to create this shameful production, rate this dross anything above 4 and dare to compound that hilarious act by typing a glorifying review.Is it just an utter lack in good taste or maybe a twisted lack of honesty, or has the world finally gone bat shït crazy?I mean the clues were all over the place; soap worthy screen writing, unbelievably poor drama, embarrassing errors in continuity, cheap looking visuals and last but not least, the most contrived plot turns that screamed 'How convenient!' ever to have been put to film.I sat and watched face-palmed as the last episodes rolled over my screen and further ruined what must have been a decent idea on paper. An idea that may have worked as a film or a 3 episode (real) mini- series, but as it stands, didn't remotely offer anything worthy of being stretched out the way it was.The only thing that was new to the genre of bank heists, was that it was carried out by professional soldiers. But everything else has been done to death so many times it wouldn't even be possible to do a post mortem on it.This could have easily been a fairly decent distraction, but after hearing Omar mutter his half-baked poetic blabber as the top notch sniper, trying to offer a description of the situation, I knew I was in trouble. My god, how embarrassing that must have been for him. I hope everyone involved has quietly picked up their pay checks and have already forgotten they ever got talked into participating in this. I know I have.3/10
... View MoreI had great hopes for this show. The idea, the plot and the action depicted in the teasers, all seemed great, but the show was a great disappointment!....maybe not to all viewers, but anyone with ANY experience from military, security or law- enforcement will definitely be embarrassed to see this pathetic attempt at portraying soldiers and police.The great lack of thoroughness in the production became evident in the first shoot-out outside the bank and continued through several embarrassing scenes throughout the season. I don't even know where to start! ...experienced soldiers and police shooting hundreds of bullets at close range without hitting anyone, SWAT-guys with all brand new equipment, who don't know how to move, hold a weapon, aim or fire. Even the female SWAT-commander has not been taught how to draw, hold or fire her glock. I could go on and on! ...and then there's the continuity-errors!All in all: amateurish!!! I haven't seen so much bullshit action-acting since the so-called "special forces" in Die Hard 2!
... View MoreA few queries about the last episode which I hope can be answered.Can someone tell this Londoner what the closing comments of this series means "1013 for ever". Also who was the man in the car who got the money from the bank and handed it over at the very end?American words and phrases which are not international can confuse people such as me- other than that I really enjoyed this series - just wish the hostage who had no one meet him could have been befriended by someone from the crowd or the other hostages friends still I accept that this is not a Disney series and that not everyone lives happily ever after.Thanks
... View MoreAfter seeing John Leguizamo on the Conan O Brien show saying that It was worth watching..... But after seeing the pilot I tought by myself..... wow how could they even survive Irak.... how can a group of marines that had professional training in arms and tactics have such a lousy aim with weapons.... And the weapons they carry I mean really.... they seemed more like amateur bank robbers who got the weapons from a crack dealer around the corner...The acting.... is just horrible... John Leguizamo was really trying... but he alone couldn't save this show...THe SWAT..... especially the Commander were terrible as hell. The whole show felt like a clumsy trip from one episode to another.Back again to the Irak part.... How did they even came back with the "militairy" skill they had a wonder that they didn't die there.And the SWAT sniper on the roof that is all poetical and all..... has lost his way he wasn't even watching trough his scope when they were ready to breachI mean really waist of money and time especially mine.
