This new prime time show stars Ray Liotta of Goodfellas fame playing Bobby Stevens, a master thief who is trying to balance out his illegal career with his domestic family life. Virginia Madsen and Amy Smart also star in supporting roles.
Sounds pretty interesting and promising, right? Well unfortunately it's one big disappointment. The producers seemed to have thought the show could rest on Ray Liotta's skills alone, neglecting other important aspects such as the dialogue which was boring and unnatural.
There are some good scenes placed between clichéd sequences and boring banter. The supporting cast also needs to kick it up a notch. None of the actors besides Liotta have anything interesting to offer up.
Smith also has the negative distinction of being the latest "heist genre" show to come along in the past two years, following FX's Thief, AMC's Hu$tle & NBC's Heist, all of which have been cancelled.
Obviously the network put a lot of $ behind this show. What it needs is more creativity to differentiate itself from all the aforementioned shows and movies (Oceans 11, The Italian Job, The Score etc) with the same concept.
The idea, even if it is old and been done before has potential, and they have the right actor, they just need to get the rest.
