    Well this turned out to be lame.

    Cheesy acting that was fine for a while, like a 90s movie hommage, before it turned out to clearly not be supported by a good story, turning the whole thing into a Lifetime movie.
    Too bad because the premise was exciting. It had Fincher/Nolan/De Palma/Pollack potential.

    I wanted to like it considering M. Night Shyamalan's incredible ability to deliver when he does (Unbreakable), but any episode of Dexter is stronger than this.

    Here it's impossible to be engaged, the story progresses in front of your eyes without keeping you guessing on anything. You're just watching it unfold from one chapter to the next.

    Josh Hartnett is a likeable actor but he's not given much to work with, definitely not enough to feed his real persona vs his front. The FBI characters might as well just have been extras.
