Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

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

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

fahlstrom I find myself agreeing with some of the other reviews in that this is a decent enough adaptation of the tenth of John Sandford (John Camp's) novels and as such it attempts to try and interlace a lot of storyline into the video that fans of the books will understand. It is about as good a job of the gritty storyline that you'll be able to find on commercial TV. Sandford writes some excellent, gripping and gruesome stories more suited for cable or the big screen ...which is really where I would enjoy seeing more of his fine work. Harmon did fair but like others I found him wanting. Davenport is a big, tough and mean character that the bad guys are truly afraid of for good reason. An ex hockey player well over 6' with a brooding character that women love. Harmon isn't the right choice although I liked his effort. A much better choice would have been Russell Crowe, Ray Liotta or Nick Nolte. The two lead women did a great job pulling off the roles of Carmen and Clara but for the buxom Marcy a far better choice would have been the beautiful and moody Jennifer Connelly. Granted, my cast would have driven the costs of this up a lot ...probably far more than any made for TV effort. Hey guys, don't knock it. Any Sandford book that makes it to the screen is worth watching. Maybe not as good as they could have been but...

Robert Fliegel One of the most excruciatingly bad pilots in years. As a Sandford fan and a Minneapolis native, I cringed at the treatment the book received in this debacle of abysmal writing, acting, and casting. The lines were wooden and the production smacked of tight soap opera camera work and amateurish audio. This is a rip-off of Jethro Gibbs fans who tuned in in hopes of seeing an equally compelling character in Harmon's Lucas Davenport. What a profound disappointment. I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes of this initial episode and I have no intention of giving the series a second chance. Unless the writers and supporting cast are replaced, this bomb will die well before season two.

Edward Paisley It is the adaptation of a book and it played out like a book, with narrations and other adaptation problems. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't that good. I thought Mark Harmon did a very good job of portraying Lucas Davenport. He really captured the world-weariness of Davenport as I had pictured him in the book, without going over the top with the character nor playing another hard charging "Gibbs" role. Davenport was an older cop who had been doing this a long time so I thought this would be a good role for Harmon. I have always liked Mark Harmon and he is just a bit older than I am. As for the other characters they seemed to be poorly cast and poorly acted. I have never liked Lola Glaudini who played Carmel (even though her body looked great). I didn't like her when she was on Criminal Minds. The guy who played Hale is nowhere near what I expected especially with the ranting about how good looking he was but was dumber than a box of lint or whatever they said. Both Athena Karkanis ...Marcy and Tatiana Maslany ...Clara Rinker were, I don't know..... poorly cast, poorly developed and poorly acted. And I don't think these were bad actors based on other roles I have seem them play. Maybe it was poor directing. But they didn't mesh with my expectations of the characters. Over all I was disappointed, expected more and will watch another NCIS marathon if I want to watch Mark Harmon act.......

nex21 Agree with the other reviewers, this was an embarrassing "movie". Bad lines, actors mailing in performances and it felt like a high school play where everyone was just muddling along with no flow and no tension. If I could give it 0 stars I would, but the 1 star is for the laughs I got when listening to the bad lines.Like a train wreck, I had to watch through the end to see the chain of comical sequences come to an end. This was a blatant audience grab for the fans of Mark Harmon and NCIS. He looked like he tried to be Gibbs again, but seriously it is tough to overcome a bad script.
