Enter 'Jesse Cardoza'
ccthemovieman-118 February 2011
Although the film story is based around a nutjob who goes about getting justice in the wrong way, I think the real story for CSI to introduce us to a new member of the team: "Jesse Cordoza," played by Eddie Cibrian.

"Cordoza" was in the beginning of last week's episode when they flashed back to 1997. He was just leaving Miami for a job in Los Angeles, but now he's back and Horatio is glad to have him. He's another beefcake added to the cheesecake which makes up most of the CSI team. (There is somebody for everyone to ogle in this series. Fat and ugly actors need not apply.) The story is a little bizarre (a man breaking into the CSI building and hold a team hostage) but it has the normal twists and turns and it certainly keeps the viewers' attention throughout, making it another fun episode to watch.

It's always interesting to see how "H" handles tough situations and it's always touching to see how compassionate he is with kids.

Best Episode in My Memory

The best episode in my memory. A different view at a historically biased system. Favouritism does not achieve equality, at any time in history.

Proper Terminology
Mangelow0082 December 2012
This review is related to the synopsis written by KGF Vissers on IMDb for "CSI Miami: Hostile Takeover". In the synopsis it was written, "...CSI staff are taken hostage by a colored man..." This description is referring to Matthew Sloan played by Sharif Atkins.

I want you to be aware that calling someone a colored person is not an acceptable description in modern America. According to Oxford Dictionary and BBC News Magazine, its use may be regarded as antiquated or offensive. Additionally, according to Wikipedia, it is generally no longer regarded as a politically correct term.

If the character is described in the script to be played by a person of color, that is different than calling a person colored. Terms such as Negro and in some cases black are no longer considered acceptable. The synopsis should have determined if the character was to be described as African-American or some other African associated heritage.
