One of my all time favorites.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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...

Saw this mediocre movie for the first time last weekend. Was home sick in bed and desperate for any entertainment. Milding interesting, more as I live in the Minneapolis area (live only a few miles from the airport sign they show). Two days later I saw Lola Glaudini in almost the same role in the Law and Order episode "Loneyville" from 2007. In both she plays a sexy lesbian attorney who has a female partner in crime. I like her character in both but needed more sexuality than could be shown on TV. Really didn't like the ending in the movie. Could not believe that someone driving a convertible could fire a gun over the top of the front window and almost hit someone 100 yards away.

I have been a "Prey" fan for years and I always wished they would do a good film adaptation of one of the books. I thought the first one was pretty bad but Mark Harmon made Eriq Lasalle look like Robert DeNiro. I was never a fan of Harmon and I was pretty disappointed when I found out he was playing Davenport. But I gave it a chance and it was actually worse than I thought it could be. Everything was bad. The directing, casting, acting, and who the hell thought voice overs would be a good idea? So disappointed. I have a hard time believing John Sandford signed off on this pile of crap. For the love of God please do not do another one of these. An embarrassment to the books!

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.
