Plus, the Arthur Jankowski detour (the guy who fled when our heroes tried to talk to him) felt completely pointless since he was obviously a red herring. It felt completely contrived as a way to reveal and catch the bad guy(s). So rich guy who's been covering for his trouble-making son felt totally cool jumping over the moral event horizon himself by hiring a hit man to murder a witness?! The sudden appearance (and equally sudden demise) of the hit man towards the end of the episode came almost completely out of left field, too. I easily pegged the rich teenage brat son as the guilty party from pretty much the moment he opened the door. The actual case they were supposed to be investigating during all these absurd shenanigans was hardly inspiring, either. Really, I felt bad for Gibbs by the end, to judge by how fed up he was (particularly with Quinn's behavior in the interrogation room). involving their boss!Īnthony DiNozzo Senior: Changing the subject! Despite being Senior Field Agent, he also participated and encouraged office gossip (of a sexual nature, no less!). Seriously, McGee?! Bishop's essay was at least not nearly so. McGee: Used his recent engagement with Delilah in a blatant and in my opinion incredibly low tactic to guilt Senior into gifting him Tony's old apartment. She also encouraged Medina to join in the harassment until Torres gave in. : Did you just read an ellipsis out loud?īishop: Verbally harassed and bullied Torres into driving to Ohio.And she allowed her discomfort regarding said dream to materially interfere with the performance of her duties.ĭid you just read an ellipsis out loud? Quinn Quinn: Had a sexual fantasy dream about her boss, and then told all her coworkers about it. And I really think that it was way too heavy-handed to be truly effective.Ĭontributing to my rather ambivalent opinion regarding this episode were the mind-bogglingly unprofessional attitudes displayed by Quinn, Bishop, and McGee over the course of the story. There's a lot of charged political rhetoric being thrown around right now, and I can only imagine the sort of reaction this episode would have elicited had it aired as originally scheduled two weeks ago, before the election.Īs far as I'm concerned in this review, however, whether or not I agree with a particular message is less important than whether I believe the delivery of said message was effective. It just depends if this sort of topic interests you as to whether it's worth seeing.The simplistic manner in which the situation was presented really didn't do justice to the complexity of the situation, which involves millions of unique individuals who came to this country as children and call it home, and have been here far longer than they ever were in the country of their birth. As for Brian Presley, I've never seen him before this, but he sure was hot and I hope to see him starring in more movies. And 50 cent plays Jamal, the really messed up mentally soldier whom you know is going to do something crazy. And Brian Pressley whom I've never heard of before plays Tommy, a guy who saw his best friend die and just feels like he needs to go back. She acts all dependent and doesn't want anyones help, but eventually accepts help. Jessica Biel plays a mom whom returns with an amputated hand. Sam Jackson plays a doctor that returns home to his family and becomes a drunk and is just distant. It's OK for what it is, but just don't believe this is how all solderers turn out. #Home of the brave review movieThe movie seemed more like a made for TV movie since a lot doesn't happen. I just don't think it's a fair representation. I guess it would not have been interesting enough to at least have one normal person. The main thing I didn't care for in this movie is that all the soldiers depicted that return home are all messed up emotionally and some of them mentally.
