I can't wrap my brain around it. How can anyone who has seen 'The Wire' from which' cast was heavily borrowed to create this shameful production, rate this dross anything above 4 and dare to compound that hilarious act by typing a glorifying review.Is it just an utter lack in good taste or maybe a twisted lack of honesty, or has the world finally gone bat shït crazy?I mean the clues were all over the place; soap worthy screen writing, unbelievably poor drama, embarrassing errors in continuity, cheap looking visuals and last but not least, the most contrived plot turns that screamed 'How convenient!' ever to have been put to film.I sat and watched face-palmed as the last episodes rolled over my screen and further ruined what must have been a decent idea on paper. An idea that may have worked as a film or a 3 episode (real) mini- series, but as it stands, didn't remotely offer anything worthy of being stretched out the way it was.The only thing that was new to the genre of bank heists, was that it was carried out by professional soldiers. But everything else has been done to death so many times it wouldn't even be possible to do a post mortem on it.This could have easily been a fairly decent distraction, but after hearing Omar mutter his half-baked poetic blabber as the top notch sniper, trying to offer a description of the situation, I knew I was in trouble. My god, how embarrassing that must have been for him. I hope everyone involved has quietly picked up their pay checks and have already forgotten they ever got talked into participating in this. I know I have.3/10
... View MoreThis series was so good, I had to cancel all of my plans on Sunday night to watch The Kill Points, this series is not so unrealistic, I love the suspense, and the strategies they used. Something that I founded weird is that since the series played every week, it kind of made like they were in the bank forever, but they actually were for maybe 3 days? If you did not watch this series, I recommend so, it is full of suspense, and action and it brings a whole new meaning to honor and leader.I would love to see a other series of The Kill Points, and I the season finale is just the best part of the whole series.

I've tuned into every episode and it keeps me wanting more every time.I thought the plot was impossible at first but then as I watched, I realized what an excellent job they've done at making this show realistic and intense.If you dislike this show, then obviously you have a different taste for drama. This show provides a twist to the bank heist shows/movies we've seen in the past.John Leguizamo as a lead cast member is excellent. He's really captured the dramatic and intense nature of the character he portrays. Never thought he could do it! As for Donnie Walhberg, well if you haven't noticed since this is a Lions Gate production, they do have they favourites they like to use. (Anyone notice jigsaw :-P) Anyhow I've become a fan of Donnie after seeing his performance in a few recent flicks. He's come a long way from the New Kids On The Block days!Gotta love Lions Gate as they keep coming out with some unique products lately that the audience hasn't seen before!Good Job!
... View MoreThis show is awesome! It's unpredictable & it's exciting. The performances are awesome as well. There is a great dialoge with a great story. It is about a group of soldiers that fought in Iraq & want their pension. They also want some respect for all their hard work and fighting (That's true. Some some respect to our soldiers!). John Leguizamo plays the main "villain" in the show, Jake Mendes aka Mr. Wolf. Mr. Wolf is not really bad guy. He is doing a terrible thing, but you see that he does regret about some of his decisions. A real villain would not do that. Donnie Wahlberg plays the police negoitater, Horst Cali. He is just as tough as Mr. Wolf & is determined that no one dies while he is in command. I can't wait to see how it all comes down.
