Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Dominic-Moor An entertaining film for a rainy day. The plot is successful without being especially high budget and is carried by a few good scenes.However, the lead actor is noticeably wooden in his approach to the good cop position. The overall plot has a bundle of twists and turns but unfortunately still leaves an uneasy feeling about both characters morals towards the ending.I can't tell if my expectations were too high or the overall feeling afterwards was especially low but this film wasn't as good watching it for the second time. If it's on TV it's probably worth a look otherwise don't go out of your way to see it.

Theo Robertson I`ve never been a subscriber to the the train of thought that Lynda La Plante is one of the greatest writers in the history of British television . Her success his mainly down down to other people especially to producers like Verity Lambert who has produced much of La Plante`s output . Don`t believe me ? Watch this version of FRAMED then Being an American movie produced for television there`s criteria as to what can and cannot be shown , so out goes the grittiness ...ooopps sorry " grittiness " that La Plante is famed for so we`re just left with the bare bones of La Plante`s original teleplay and it doesn`t hold up to too much scrutiny . NYPD cop Mike Santini arrests international criminal mastermind Eddie Meyers who then turns prosecution witness ? Forgive me for asking but do cops get assinged to look after the same people they arrested on the witness protection program ? Am I alone in thinking Mike is the only cop assinged to looking after Meyers ? and how does Mike manage to afford a big house and swimming pool if he`s a mere detective ? The plot twists and turns which ends up making it not complex but somewhat contrived and there`s a bizarre scene where Sam Neill`s character ( And Neill plays Meyers in a totally camp way ) emulates a scene in a police car that another character played by Sam Neill did 25 years earlier in the movie SLEEPING DOGS . The script is mainly to blame for this mediocre crime tale but it`s not really helped by Daniel Petrie`s directing or the usual TVM restraints on budget . No doubt La Plante afficianados can blame American TVM network regulations on its failure , but if that`s the case shouldn`t other people be getting the credit for La Plante`s British TV successes ?

Sly006 After watching the commercials for this movie, I decided to watch it. To my surprise, I happened to enjoy it. Rob Lowe and Sam Neill connect, and this is much more than a good guy bad guy flick. The plot is very well done, and there's even some twists. They get along with each other at times, and even team up. I especially liked Sam Neill's character, because he's smooth and calm.

talvaffe We know drama. Yes, that's TNT's new somewhat annoying mantra/tagline, but in the case of Framed, they pretty much do. Ok, so I was flipping through the channels one night, when lo and behold, who should appear but one of my favorite actors, Sam Neill. And, not in a Jurassic Park role, I might add; quite rare for cable. Anyway, I was fairly hooked in the first ten minutes. By the time the ending rolled around (Only a measly 91 minutes, but still) I had a goofy smile on my face and a new favorite movie. It's special, still, as it's my last movie seen on 2002. Beside the point, I think that on the whole, the production values, the sets, the locations, the nicely twisting and keep-you-guessing script, not to mention the great acting, this struck me as a REAL movie, not a made for cable one. In short, if there's a chance to see it, folks, do it, you won't be sorry.
