But that intervention may also provide some insight into whether Devon is truly innocent or guilty, and the motive for the murder regardless of if it was Devon who stabbed Angela. Add content advisory.
User reviews 13 Review. Top review. Purely average. Checked the previous seven comments here as this flick was beginning. Frankly, reading them was as interesting as watching the film. Where there are a great number of comments, you expect them to be diverse, and even with a few, usually somebody loves the move, someone else hates it, etc. However, among the few here, comments ranged from those who seemed to feel the story, plot and performances were reminiscent of Hitchcock's best, to those who seemed to place it at the bottom end of the frequently mediocre "Lifetime" fare.
Descriptions of the plot seemed to vary from feeling it was completely clever and suspenseful to totally banal. One individual cited that this presentation was filmed in 12 days. I didn't see anything to confirm this, but he seemed certain, and the level of the performances including that of the usually excellent Linda Purl , seemed to confirm this. With D. Purl turning 50 at time of filming, and defense lawyer Vanessa Angel near 40, both were years senior to the male leads, David Palffy at 35, and Sebastian Spence about a year older.
At her age, Angel looks as though she may surpass Joan Rivers in terms of Botox applications long before she reaches the latter's advanced age. I've come to believe that a major reason for producing these "Lifetime" presentations is to assist in supporting Canada's economy, since most of them seem to be shot there, usually in either Vancouver as this flick was or Toronto.
I suppose which site is utilized depends on background needed for the particular story, but primarily whether cast and crew are more West Coast or East. Actually, after viewing the film myself, I feel that just about all the previous ones commenting had it partially correct.
I would give it what amounts to an average of these, as well as the overall "ratings" figure shown on this site..
The acting was uninspired, with neither the characters nor the performances particularly engaging. The series follows the lives of several police officers and prosecutors who represent the public interest in the criminal justice system.
Often episodes were inspired by actual cases, especially in the first few seasons. This means every arrest, each conviction, and all the jaw dropping moments you remember happened right here in the Big Apple. Locations featured on the series include:. Think about Law and Order and what comes to mind? Most certainly the infamous Courthouse scenes!
Jack McCoy and the other attorneys trek up and down these stairs in every episode. The history and notoriety of this landmark cannot be missed on a trip to New York! Located on the west side of Manhattan is the neighborhood of Chelsea , a historic and diverse neighborhood that is also home to the General Theological Seminary now The Highline Hotel on West 20th Street.
This is epicenter of the real NYPD and countless television versions. I feel that the character development in LOCI has tremendous potential. Intended or not, one of the main characters, Goren, evolves as the central character in each episode. His ability and desire to understand the reasoning behind the actions of the criminals is captivating. He appears supremely intelligent but without a superior attitude.
Each episode Goren is called upon to draw from his own eclectic knowledge base which, depending on the episode, might be a foreign language, the psychology behind the criminal mind, odd medical conditions, rare art values or something equally unexpected. His knowledge seems to be acquired because he is driven to know more, to understand more completely, to totally get inside the criminal's head, dissect whatever thought processes are happening and add this to his vast 'file' in his own head.
This desire coupled with D'Onofrio's unusual mannerisms create a unique approach to 'cracking' a suspect and makes you sweat right along with the criminal.
Very competent, fairly easy to understand without being too simple. I am hoping that this series will be renewed for enough seasons so that the audience will have a chance to peek into the depths of Goren's mind and understand how HE works.
All in all, I believe this is a series well worth your time and I sincerely hope that it continues. I also want to see more of D'Onofrio!! FAQ 2. What is the remit of the real Major Crimes Squad?
