Amateur movie with Big budget
Stephan Hammond
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is the worst staged show I have ever seen..! Charles Stiles needs to go to acting school along with his so called aids...! It's just unbelievable in so many ways... The shamed employees just take it & then are apparently re-employed not long after.... Don't think so... & that the disgraced & dishonest employees would let themselves be named & shamed on TV.... Come on ..?! Do you really think the public is this stupid?? They would never get another job after this was aired if it was actually real..! Absolutely rubbish Charles is ridiculously unbelievable Could be a good show if it was real, who would seriously put themselves out there like that

Well, at least the bad acting seems real. (NOTE:The previous line is sufficient to complete the entire review, but I am required to contribute 10 lines. So, I apologize for the excess rambling, but I will do my best not to be boring.) "Reality" TV should in fact stay true to at least its genre. It has to contain the element of being REAL. You don't go to a Chinese Restaurant that serves only hot dogs & perogies. It would be wrong. You go because you expect to find Chinese food. Any show that places itself under the category of "Reality" needs to at least have that one ingredient. It has to be REAL. Simple. Mystery Diners, even if all their episodes are reenactments based on actual events, which I highly doubt, that would not be enough for it to be considered to be categorized within the universe of "Reality". They may as well include the "Creature of the Black Lagoon" movies because they included real actors and a real lagoon. IMHO, these people who vomit out shows based on deception & the assumption that the public is primarily gullible are no better than scam artists preying on the weak & ill informed. Like a cockroach, they've found a crack within the walls of Reality TV from which to operate. Oh well. At least there is a bright side. Some of us may have lost a few hours to their con, but their reputation is lost for life. What goes around really comes around.

Only 1 star as there is no zero. Why oh why is this even on a food channel, nothing to do with food, completely fake, terrible acting, set up situations, a million camera angles from a few supposedly secret cameras!!! Even a quick google will tell you how fake it is, and as unbelievable as it is so far 4 of the 19 reviews have been positive...so I guess that explains why they get away with such a blatantly bad show. This show and its brethren Restaurant Stakeout have no place on a channel that is supposed to be about food. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a food channel is going to be watched by serious foodies who like to see different recipes and cuisines being prepared and tasted, not this pap!!!

I've been watching this show for a while. I've always been skeptical of the show being real, but I simply contributed that to it being a reenactment of the events.Last night I watched an episode that confirmed it was fake. This episode one of their new tools called a "Stingray". This device is real, but it is available to law enforcement only and only under strict non-disclosure from the FBI. In addition, it is likely illegal to intercept the communications without permission from one of the two parties. I also suspect it would be illegal to transmit on the frequencies used for cell phones without an FCC license.
