The killpoint series finale

ringer706 · 08-26-2007, 11:57 PM

For any of you all that have been following "The Killpoint" on Spike TV, the 2 hour finale was tonight and I have to say I was very dissapointed with the result. Now granted, it's only a 10 part series made by a network, but some of the stuff just left me screaming "OH C'MON!!!" at the TV. An example is when the negotiator (Donnie Wahlberg sp?) is chasing down the man who has his wife in a warehouse. Wahlberg is using what looks like a Berreta M9 and somehow manages to return fire ATLEAST 25 times meanwhile the "magic bullet fairy" reloads his magazine for him. Again, I know it's not a high quality production, but seriously, is it that hard to add that in? Combined with so-so acting and rediculous shooting seens that almost made me laugh, the season finale, and really the whole series is a waste of 11 hours to watch. Go ride a bike, you'll get more out of it.

One other thing that I forgot to mention was that in an earlier scene in the show, there was a SWAT team standing along a GLASS window infront of the bank, seconds from entering, but the guys inside were pretty much oblivious to them. Just stupid stuff like that, that would NEVER HAPPEN IN REAL OR EVEN CLOSE TO REAL LIFE. Hell, they might as well had a sweatshop run by gnomes in the conference room or spiderman sling up the robbers. Woulda made more sense that way.

I know, I was yelling at the TV as well, this is what you would have heard if you were standing outside my door today.

"HALF INCH THICK WOOD DOES NOT STOP BULLETS FROM A HIGH POWERED ASSAULT RIFLE!"

"C'MON HIT SOMETHING ALREADY!"

"WHY THE **** WOULD THE PARK A GUY WHO HAS AN APB OUT ON HIM A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE SCENE? "

"HOW THE **** DID THE NEWS CAMERAS NOT SEE THE POLICE GUN DOWN AN UNARMED MAN IN THE MIDDLE STREET?!"

"THESE GUYS CAN AFFORD ASSAULT RIFLES AND SMG'S BUT CAN'T PONY UP FOR A FEW FLASHES OR SMOKE NADES!"

"C'MON SHE'S BLINDFIRING!"

My girlfriend was looking at me like I had 3 eyes, lol
