lorenbruner Pretty good for a made-for-TV type movie. The story was good and so was the acting. I have always been a Mark Harmon fan but although he did a pretty good job he would not have been my first (or any) choice for Lucas Davenport. I'd have gone with Thomas Gibson who plays Aaron Hotchner on Criminal Minds. He carries more of the dark and brooding qualities that I associate with the character. Nevertheless Mark Harmon is a good actor and easy on the eyes, too, so I enjoyed the movie and would love to see more Prey novels on either the large or small screen. Hollywood has as done so well with the Alex Cross franchise, and IMHO Lucas Davenport is equally, if not more, interesting and well-drawn by his author.
Deanna Paulicek Certain Prey, first TV adaptation of a novel by John Sandford. Tenth book in the Prey series.This is the first show that has me picking up a book, a book in series, an excellent series at that. A few people expect that a movie or TV adaptation of a book should be to the word, I don't see this even possible unless you make it into a series with-in itself. I loved this story the characters and the lead character Lucas Davenport in my opinion was wonderfully portrayed, by Mark Harmon.I have become a Prey series fan because of this movie and am looking forward to the next installment. Davenport is suspiciously close to Gibbs in a lot of ways, Mark Harmon, a Sandford fan no doubt, they are connected, IMO. I loved it. A terrific movie full of Suspense and thoroughly engaging.
donlessnau-591-637730 To quote the late, great Bill Hicks, "Piece of S..."How could Sandford sign off on this stinkburger?Sandford and Lucas Davenport is the best series I've ever read but this movie was a hot, steaming plate of steaming BS.The screenplay seemed more intent on putting in PC lines about gays and feminism than following the book. Where did the gay cop come from? He certainly wasn't in the book.Everyone connected with this stinkburger should be banned from making movies for the rest of their lives. Painful to watch.It was a great book as all the Prey series are but the treatment was juvenile and childishly PC.
thommytiger For one, Mark Harmon is too old, too thinning and gray, too scrawny, and too short to credibly pull off Detective Lucas Davenport. He came across as a better-dressed version of Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Second, he surrounded himself with some of the lamest acting talent available today. Athena Karkanis was embarrassingly bad as Marcy, even when you looked past the fact that she's too short, too soft-spoken, and not physical enough (inadequately endowed) to fill the role (think WWF's Chyna toned down a notch--that's Marcy). Did Harmon even read the book? Or the series? An unbelievable hack job. I think the Porsche out-acted the cast. Poor Sandford/Camp is now 0-for-2 on screen adaptations of his books. Note to Harmon: If you plan on doing another Davenport book, please hire Sandford as a consultant/screenwriter and LISTEN to him.
