I enjoyed this exciting story - excellent to have such strong roles for women - instead of trite female roles where the women are protagonists who best or beat up all the men - here are some in the antagonist or villain role - that out smart everyone - until they don't. Great script and excellent story.
Pretty good for a made-for-TV type movie. The story was good and so was the acting.
I find myself agreeing with some of the other reviews in that this is a decent enough adaptation of the tenth of John Sandford (John Camp's) novels and as such it attempts to try and interlace a lot of storyline into the video that fans of the books will understand. It is about as good a job of the gritty storyline that you'll be able to find on commercial TV.
Whatever Mark Harmon saw in "Certain Prey" wasn't in it when I saw it. This pedestrian police procedural about Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Lucas Davenport solving a complicated crime delivers barely enough to make it tolerable.
The movie is a tremendous embarrassment and failure from virtually every standpoint. I can see why they didn't send it to reviewers prior to "opening night.
For one, Mark Harmon is too old, too thinning and gray, too scrawny, and too short to credibly pull off Detective Lucas Davenport. He came across as a better-dressed version of Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
It seems many people hated this movie, but it is fairly obvious from the reviews that none of you have read the books. I thought Mark Harmon did an excellent job of portraying Lucas Davenport, and you can tell by his performance that he is a fan of the books.
I have read all of the Prey novels and am a big fan. I have been a Mark Harmon fan for years.
One of the most excruciatingly bad pilots in years. As a Sandford fan and a Minneapolis native, I cringed at the treatment the book received in this debacle of abysmal writing, acting, and casting.
