NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

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

right left "Kill Point" is a very, intense movie and worth the watch. I really don't expect TV Mini Series to be worth watching unless they're on Pay Cable or something, but I don't think this was on Pay TV, which means this should have "sucked". Anyway, this was a "nail-biting" suspense that delivered from start to finish. It was a very addicting watch, and I just wanted to know what was going to happen next. There was no ridiculous Character development, or far fetched scenes that stinks of lazy/ stupid writing. All the Characters were well written and behaved as if they were really in a hostage situation. This movie is good enough that after watching it, all the parties involved are seen in a new respectful, light. I also gained new respect for all the Actors in the movie. Donny Wahlberg who is pretty much dismissed as Mark Walhberg's, less talented, older Brother is actually fantastic. John Leguizamo was also very good as the Hostage Taker who has to manage an intense situation, and try to maintain his honor. Of course, it's not an Academy Awards acting job, but they were worth watching because this was a great movie, and I would recommend it to even the hardcore action/ suspense movie goers.

chicagopoetry I guess I thought, since this was a Spike production about a bank robbery, I was in store for something in the lines of Reservoir Dogs, but instead I got a bunch of whiny, sensitive guys dragging out an implausible plot with a million holes in it. If they were going to offer such a typical story, they should have at least gone all out John Woo style, but I've seen more drama and gore on CSI. When a woman gets shot in the neck, blood should spurt out. No? Please don't tell me this was all for a Fusion triple razor product placement, because that's what it feels like to me. This isn't Sleeper Cell, this certainly isn't Season One of Prison Break, and just because so many similar actors appear in it, that doesn't make this The Wire. There is not much to like about any of the character; perhaps a little bit of flashback might have helped, because we absolutely do not understand where they are coming from. The plot doesn't make much sense; for example, are we really suppose to believe the black sniper on the roof is staying put, harping one liners at his dopey eyed white partner—for several days? It's not cohesive, but it certainly is long and drawn out. What I can't understand is why the police special tactics unit is more experienced than a bunch of vets who have actually seen action on a daily basis in Iraq? Also, why was the plan to rob the bank so sloppy? They didn't think to collect the cell phones from the start? Duh, that would have saved a lot of trouble, and lives. This show is not very convincing fantasy. Why do they keep letting the boss of the gang out of the bank to incite the crowd? Why do they keep letting the father of the boy run amok to conspire when he should be debriefed in some secure location? Why does a pad of paper look like a gun to a highly trained SWAT team? Hell, nobody protests anything, even when our president lies about the reasons for going to war, so why are vets showing up at a bank robbery with signs to demonstrate against the war? And no paramedics as the hostages come out? Give me a break. We live in a numb society, not this TV show. This show is silly, and Donnie Walhberg makes it even sillier. There is no humor and too much drama. There is no suspense, just too much happening, but nothing unexpected. Too much talk. The writing is so simplistic that the very talented cast can't even breath life into it. This is not the worst TV show ever, but it is certainly nowhere near the best. This could have been the Dog Day Afternoon of our times, if it had been edited down to two hours instead of five. We can't figure out who is good and who is bad but much worse, we don't really care. This show lacks motivation. The big speeches are forced and unintentionally comic. And the sub plots go nowhere. I'm guessing the writers know nothing about the military, nothing about police, nothing about banks or bank robberies, and most tragically nothing about human nature. They just saw a bunch of old b movies and decided to make one for themselves. The last two episodes get pretty intense, but its sort of like A Better Tomorrow Part Two, not worth the wait.

carltonbanks-1 I 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!

gc_mandrake I had great hopes for this show, having really enjoyed Donnie Wahlberg in Band of Brothers and Boomtown, plus they used a TON of actors from the best show on TV, The Wire... and Leguizamo is always interesting, if a little erratic...But the stiffness of the dialog and plotting really killed this... There were so many missed opportunities, where a truly well-written phrase or moment could have vaulted this into something great! (The toughest part was the soliloquies by the sniper, played by the same guy who does a remarkable job as Omar on The Wire, would babble on... give him some good material, and he would have KILLED it!) Nice try, and since it was a mini, I did end up watching the whole thing, but didn't really pay too close attention by the end...
