Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

wholeheartfriend 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.

tom-rusch 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.'

lawrynh It is my feeling that "Smith" could evolve into an absorbing crime drama. Its sparse dialog is neither tedious nor a turn-off, and the lack of 'treacly music' during the family scenes is decidedly a plus. In addition to stars Liotta and Madsen, one might single out Simon Baker, whose past credits include the gripping neonoir film L.A. Confidential (1997), and Jonny Lee Miller, who was cast in "Prime Suspect 3" (1993), arguably the best of that series. Although granted that early in "Smith" we still know little about the characters played by these and the other members of the cast, my prediction is that future episodes will, like the layers of an onion being peeled away, reveal their past misdeeds, almost surely to haunt them as things progress. The viewer might anticipate with some relish that a couple of the characters, who love fast living and fast cars, and flaunt both, are indeed cruising for a bruising.Which is not to say there aren't certain aspects that don't ring true. Given that the heist which unfolds in the pilot, whose nature I shall not reveal, is not normally associated with violence, it doesn't seem likely there is not more anger, censure, and repercussion from the naughty persons on-high when things do go awry and assuredly cause law enforcement to be far more attentive and relentless in its pursuit of the crime.Viewers and producers alike need to stay the course until "Smith" gets its stride. The network ought not lose its courage in presenting something different, as happened with other dark and delicious crime dramas, such as "EZ Streets" in the mid-1990s and "Dream Street" in the late 1980s, soon pulled from the fall line-up. There has to be something different out there than silly clichés, canned laughter, and predictable and soon shopworn series.

smvelie The first episode just didn't deliver. I had high expectations because of the cast and the fact that John Wells was producing, but the show just never grabbed me. It had some action but also seemed very slow at times, pretty boring for the most part. It just didn't work. I didn't buy into it. Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen etc. are all very good actors, but for some reason they are not engaging in this show. Well, I'll somewhat take that back, Ray Liotta is always engaging. However he was less engaging than usual on this show, and I love Liotta as an actor. I don't know if it was the writing, the directing, or what, but something was definitely off. However, Amy Smart was quite entertaining. She seemed to be the only interesting character. The cast as a whole is very talented and skilled, it is surprising that it just didn't work. That leads me to think it's more the fault of the writing. Oh Well, I'll give it another chance and watch the next episode, but the pilot was not impressive.
