CATKNSN-2

*yawn* This one adds new meaning to predictable. The previews looked great; unfortunately they consisting of all of the interesting parts in the movie being put together. You never learn enough about any of the characters in this movie to care what happens to them; the focus is on plot to the exclusion of all else and there isn't a single surprise. Ashley Judd could not look convincing as a woman who has spent six years in prison if her life depended upon it, and as others have commented, there were plot holes big enough to drive a truck through and the legal concept here is fallacious. Save your money.

Some friends talked me into giving this show a try and I have never regretted it. This is as intelligent as television gets. Sure, you can watch and enjoy it just as what it is on the surface - a stylish spy action /drama crossover - but when you go beyond that, this is a show that dissects human morality and interpersonal relationships with a frightening precision. You never quite know what is right or wrong, who's lying and who's telling the truth, and just when you think you've figured out a character, another surprise is thrown at you. Plus the acting is just incredible - there isn't a weak link in this cast. If you're not afraid of a show that will challenge you, check out La Femme Nikita.
