Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Terryfan In Plain Slight is a crime show where you see what the lives of U.S. Marshall Officers and their jobs to put people in Witness Protection.The series main protagonist Mary Shannon (Played by Mary McCormack) is a no nonsense wise cracking US Marshall with a interesting view on the world as she is forced to deal with her mother Jinx Shannon (Played by Lesley Ann Warren) and her sister Brandi Shannon (Played by Nicole Hiltz).Things at work are just as interesting for Mary as well with her partner Marshall Mann (Played by Frederick Weller) as they work together to keep their witness protected within their program along with their boss Stan McQueen (Played by Paul Ben-Victor).The series protagonists make the show a fun and interesting series to watch because Mary and Marshall have a strong partnership and are best friends.The acting is very good with Mary and Fredrick work very well together and make their characters very strong.The writing is very creative as you get a mix of drama, comedy and action in the show. Which is level out very well. So you are interested in Crime drama with good characters and story telling IN Plain Slight is the show for you .
TunesByWax Descent writing, reasonable acting, similar in timbre to Saving Grace, enough character development that you can connect. As a big West Wing fan, I really like the substantial number of guest spots by West Wing alum. Only ding: yet another show less than subtly infused with toyota plugs. Keep your money on shore & buy a dang Ford or something. Over all, it's a shame they're wrapping up. In the era of twitter, it seems odd to prohibit publication of a review for being succinct. So, right then, descent writing, reasonable acting, similar in timbre to Saving Grace, enough character development that you can connect. As a big West Wing fan, I really like the substantial number of guest spots by West Wing alum. Only ding: yet another show less than subtly infused with toyota plugs.
foundsomefun This show is trying to be too many things all at once and it is failing miserably at being a show about crime and "witness protection". It is all about the drunk. Lesley Ann Warren plays the same sorry dippy ratty haired unlikable person that she plays in every other movie or show. Why is it when a show is really coming together they reduce the star players to after thoughts and bring in some has-been or in this case a never-been player and mess it up.I was really liking this show. The team of Federal Marshalls was developing a chemistry and hitting its stride. If I want to watch a ratty haired annoying drunk with no purpose I would watch "Saving Grace"... and that is a 1 out of 10 at best.Save this show PLEASE...!!! I really liked how the witnesses got into trouble and how things moved along. Kill off the mother.
VegasMagik This show is absolutely terrible and I cannot believe it is being brought back for a second season. The show does look intriguing from its trailers, but upon actually watching the show, it is contrived with awful writing. The one-liners that are supposed to look spontaneous are not humorous at all, and poorly delivered at that. The show constantly implies how its lead character is incredibly attractive, but she's not really. As far as procedurally, I'm sure really Federal Marshals cringe when they hear this show's name. Its awful, but don't take my word for it, watch it for an episode and see if you agree.
