MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
leftyguns2 I was literally blown away by this new action drama. Johnny Zero is definitely a must see. I see this series becoming a classic if those involved actors, directors, producers continue doing what they are doing , well they got the hell of a series in their hands.Calvo (aka Johnny Zero) a former drug user turned private eye is quite an inspirational character. I like to see when people who once made bad choices turn their lives around and become upstanding members of their communities, helping those who are battling the same demons he once battled himself.He's a very compassioned individual. In today's episode he went as far as saving the life of someone who wanted to torture him. That who scene and dialogue was quite funny in fact.The natural acting abilities of the entire cast will surely make this series a must see.
Freddy X I saw a commercial of this show and I didn't really get a good feeling for it. But after watching the three first episodes I really love it. It's about an ex-con getting back on the streets trying to escape his past and former lifestyle. All the above not being to easy. All he wants is a new start but all the people from his past is after him to get him back in his old job. I sure hope we get to see more of this show, it's like a fresh new era of shows on TV. Yes there is a lot of violence in it but that is how life is. Now days a lot of new great shows get canceled, for reasons I don't know. So I really hope this one don't get canceled too. This one I see a great future for.
Christopher D. Borden One of those great mid-season replacement shows. A cast that is more believable than most of todays reality shows. A down-on-his-luck chap who is trying to clean up his act and every time he turns someone from his past attempts to draw him back into checkered past in the criminal world. It is a race to keep everyone in check and happy and Jonny is balancing his needs to reunite with his family and loved ones. Jonny partners up with a wise cracking disc-jockey who bites off more than he can chew and only realizes his mistakes when it is too late to turn back the clock. The question that pops up is - how much grief can you put up with when you move back to your old neighbourhood? Unsure how long this series will hold out but it sure beats the current run of deadbeat reality shows that pollute our video waves. Play on. CDB
Andrew (morbid_Visions) Jonny Zero is a show involving a man who is released from prison and is trying to change his life for the better while dealing with the demons from his criminal past.Many things about this show are very cliché such as the bumbling "mafia" men and the comic-relief sidekick. The director(s) are also to blame for the quick camera work (that only fits some scenes, not all) and musical choices. This show had some of the worst music I've ever heard in a show or movie. However, at one point Jonny sees his mother again and in the background you hear some nice, Latin salsa music. That was the only example of music that actually fit the scene. Other times it was weird techno or music from a band you probably don't care about. Another problem I had was the offbeat humor. I'm a fan of humor, but the kind in this show was asinine and again, didn't fit the scenes they were in. At times, there were some funny parts but out of maybe 13 or 14 attempts at humor in the show, only 2 or 3 of them worked.The best thing about the show, so far, is the action. I was surprised at the level of violence shown and how real it looked. In once scene, "Jonny Zero" showed more blood than ANY "Twenty-Four" episode. The gunfights were well done from a TV show standpoint and Franky G fits his role perfectly. Sometimes, Franky does come off as a little stiff but that's probably due to his inexperience in a lead role. Something that will certainly get better.Overall, the first episode is an example of good things a show can produce and bad things it can produce. Luckily, all these negative things can be fixed within a few episodes until the show levels out and produces its own identity (its set in New York, like millions of other shows). Better humor (or ditch it altogether), sensible music, and a steadier camera work should even things out nicely for a show which will surely become more entertaining as it progresses.
