Leverage: The Broken Wing Job (2012)
Season 5, Episode 8
9/10
A great interpretation of a film classic
6 November 2016
After a television show has been on long enough they will eventually film their own version of Rear Window or It's A Wonderful Life. Here the Leverage offers their own version of Rear Window with Parker stuck at home with a sprained knee while the rest of the gang is in Japan. Parker begins watching the security feed of the restaurant and notices two shady characters planning a crime. While several other shows have taken a stab at Rear Window, Leverage managed to stay true to the classic film by not only incorporating the story line of the criminals, but also that of some of the other patrons: the guy who orders the same dish and sends it back every time, the perfect couple referred to as Sid and Nancy who are not as perfect as they seem and two people dubbed Romeo and Juliet who are right for each other. Eventually all story lines are wrapped up and Parker manages to survive her convalescence period in true Parker fashion.
