Jai_Monroe ..As in, I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie.I chose to watch this movie solely based on my addiction to all things Joe Flanigan, its one of his better roles IMHO. I actually found myself enjoying it for reasons that had nothing to do with my Joe fetish. I'm in agreement with the previous comment made on this movie - it could have been a damn good TV series. What I liked about this was that Freya wasn't some X-Men type ass-kicking super babe, she was basically a normal girl who suddenly developed an an abnormal gift that threatened to destroy her life. It wasn't just glossed over with the typical "she's got powers & suddenly she can master it in a second" thing that you see on other movies or TV shows with telepathics. She actually struggles with it and starts learning how to focus it at first with difficulty. I thought Brendan Dean's first few scenes were funny - spitting up cough syrup all over himself and the repetitive humming of the Scooby Doo Theme song in the privacy of his own head (who knew that could be so annoying?! & really a guy of his age with Scooby Doo stuck in his head, its enough to make you worried). He definitely came across as not liking having to take a back seat to Freya in investigations especially without knowing why & watching him trying to figure it out was amusing. At times, Brendan's humour was rather similar to that of Joe's current TV role as Col. John Sheppard on Stargate Atlantis - perhaps those elements are something Joe brings to the roles himself rather than what is written in scripts. This movie is really good, the only bad thing in my opinion was it seemed to end just as it was getting to the best part of the story - Freya mastering her gift & using it. It should have been the start of a great TV series! I'd definitely recommend this movie whether you like Joe's work on not.
clintkennedy Where oh where is the DVD? This sleeper was on cable and what a terrific surprise! Basically no-name actors in a very tightly shot movie with tension every minute as we explore the metaphysical world of ESP. The action is riveting and twisting from frame to frame. Great photography!!!! The actors poured out their soul in a yeoman effort with an excellent screenplay and very plausible scenes and rock solid settings. Sound and music compliment a driving thriller theme as police and a formerly misdiagnosed schizophrenic chase after organized crime in not-overcooked-dramatics. The story weaves and turns in many unexpected ways and holds your interest to the end. Great job by the supporting cast gives this movie a ten. Enjoy!
Martin This is one of those movies no one's ever heard of, but when you see you're like "wow". I admit the plot doesn't sound very original in fact it's not original but once you start seeing it, you can't stop this movie would've been great for a TV show. Navi Rawat brilliantly performs the role of Freya McAllister, it was the first time I saw Navi Rawat acting in a movie but you can easily tell, she's made for the big screen. Joe Flanigan was not bad either, it was the first time I saw his act and he wasn't bad, but he wouldn't have been my choice for Brendan.As I said before the show really should've been a TV series because it leaves us wondering a lot of things. Anyway, if you like a soft entertaining action/drama movie this movie is for you. I rate it 9/10
tedstring I really like the writing, the performances are solid, but the title...well..sucks. "Thought Crimes?" They don't commit crimes by thinking about them...It should be called "Cognition" or "Head Games" or something... How about "The Cogtective"...Okay just kidding on that one... I think the underlying aspect here is that this is a really well done show and the title will keep people from finding out about it. I happened to be browsing and got drawn into the program, only to hear the title and felt foolish telling anyone i was watching something called...well you get the idea. This is the second time I came across the show. Again, I just had to check it out.
