    Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
    Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
    Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
    Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
    hagopikagopian I hate those tv series extending a 15 minutes-story to a 12 hours-story. I would recommend you to watch the first episode and the last one. that is it. waste of time. I really try hard to understand this kind of tv series that you can predict the end. Plus, I didn't like the scenario. I don't know even why I have kept watching until the fifth episode.
    Miss A S Mitchell This is a great series in some ways a shame it ended after 13 episodes but in some ways a bonus as American shows can drag on too long to get to the finale. It's clever and builds over the episodes just like many series not really given a chance but at least a chance to conclude . What has annoyed me is all those that reference Dan Brown clearly those who reference have only seen the films and are actually not that well red! All though the story is different In lot's of ways no Nazis's I would say this is much closer to Michael Cordy and Miracle Strain recently renamed Messiah Code check it out and them start bleating ! If you get the chance do check this series out.
    farquarg First the good. Most network dramas are either medical or legal or crime dramas. The simple fact that this show doesn't fall into these categories is commendable. I also have to give ABC credit for taking a chance on something new.***Spoilers below***** The story line is about a man, Hank ( Anthony Edwards) whose wife is kidnapped. He finds out that her kidnapping is related to a clock. The clock is in fact a puzzle with clues leading to other clocks. If you find all the clocks you will learn the location of the True Cross. The cross was hidden during the 1930s to protect it from the Nazis. The story is a blend of modern day events with flashbacks to 1930s that shed light on the reasons behind the current events.It's an interesting concept and there's a tremendous potential here. But the writers, actors, basically everyone and everything associated with this show fails. The characters jump all around the world, they go from being stranded in the arctic to being back in New York effortlessly. Because there's no effort, there's no chance to connect to the characters emotionally--the viewer never cares about the characters. The show is based in 2013, yet the characters run into virtually none of the problems someone in 2013 would face. There's no real resistance save from those involved in the conspiracy directly. When there are tragic and moving events, such as Hank discovering everything about his life is a lie, the characters are barely affected. The only reason you know something happened is they talk about it. Otherwise they carry on as if completely unaffected. The whole show feels as though it's a 10,000 ft level summary of another story.The failure of this show is a shame because networks will be less willing to take a chance on new ideas.
    Mar Velez I think some shows are just to intelligent for most people. Maybe People like easy, action and not very smart shows. If you look at what happened to "touch",first season was great and original, then in order to adapt to an audience that wanted action, the script was changed and became completely vulgar and predictable. I loved Zero Hour! It reminded me of a lot of god books i read and it had everything: a smart story, action, original script, and a way of telling the story that surprises you with the unpredictable. It is more and more difficult to find original story's that surprise us. Everything seems so "haven't i seen this before". And maybe story tellers can not do better because the audience demands more of the same.
