Standard TV Action

'Red Phone' is a very standard TV action series. It is not a good one even in its genre. I saw what probably is the pilot, renting it from 'Blockbuster', and it gave me no reasons to look for the rest of the series : the standard secret anti-terror organization, incredible technical capabilities, no memorable characters, and no clear side line story that would make me curious about what happens next. 4/10 on my personal scale.
