hyped garbage
disgusting, overrated, pointless
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Pretty good for a made-for-TV type movie. The story was good and so was the acting. I have always been a Mark Harmon fan but although he did a pretty good job he would not have been my first (or any) choice for Lucas Davenport. I'd have gone with Thomas Gibson who plays Aaron Hotchner on Criminal Minds. He carries more of the dark and brooding qualities that I associate with the character. Nevertheless Mark Harmon is a good actor and easy on the eyes, too, so I enjoyed the movie and would love to see more Prey novels on either the large or small screen. Hollywood has as done so well with the Alex Cross franchise, and IMHO Lucas Davenport is equally, if not more, interesting and well-drawn by his author.
Certain Prey, first TV adaptation of a novel by John Sandford. Tenth book in the Prey series.This is the first show that has me picking up a book, a book in series, an excellent series at that. A few people expect that a movie or TV adaptation of a book should be to the word, I don't see this even possible unless you make it into a series with-in itself. I loved this story the characters and the lead character Lucas Davenport in my opinion was wonderfully portrayed, by Mark Harmon.I have become a Prey series fan because of this movie and am looking forward to the next installment. Davenport is suspiciously close to Gibbs in a lot of ways, Mark Harmon, a Sandford fan no doubt, they are connected, IMO. I loved it. A terrific movie full of Suspense and thoroughly engaging.
I have been a "Prey" fan for years and I always wished they would do a good film adaptation of one of the books. I thought the first one was pretty bad but Mark Harmon made Eriq Lasalle look like Robert DeNiro. I was never a fan of Harmon and I was pretty disappointed when I found out he was playing Davenport. But I gave it a chance and it was actually worse than I thought it could be. Everything was bad. The directing, casting, acting, and who the hell thought voice overs would be a good idea? So disappointed. I have a hard time believing John Sandford signed off on this pile of crap. For the love of God please do not do another one of these. An embarrassment to the books!
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. He really captured the world-weariness of Davenport without going over the top with the character's general bad-assery, and I would love to see him return in further "Prey" movies! As for the people who didn't approve of the fact that all of the characters seemed to be sleeping with one another, this movie is an adaptation of the tenth book in the series. There were nine other books spanning several years of plot that led up to the movie's various romantic entanglements. The producers and writers just did a really efficient job of summing up too much information into a believable plot.
