Unsatsifying Endings To A 'Ghost Thief' And A 'Secret Sociiety'
ccthemovieman-119 October 2007
A high-tech shoplifter turns killer when a security guy gets near her in a dressing room. She has thought of everything, even how to make herself "invisible" to the security cameras. Danny and Stella try to figure out how to catch this "ghost." She appears to be, as Stella puts it, "a personal shoplifter" for someone (as in someone's personal bodyguard).

Case number two has Sheldon, Mac and Flack investigating a murder at a "hedge maze," one of those hedge puzzle-designs where you can easily lost once inside them. The victim, a college student, was in this public place after hours, so Mac thinks he was lured there and then murdered. It appears later that it might be the work of some "secret society" on campus.

Neither of these two cases wound up with satisfying endings. One is another lets-feel-sorry- for-the-poor criminal who had bad things happen to her earlier in her life. These things excuse the current criminal activities, at least to the people who write these Antony Zuicker/Ann Donahue-created CSI TV shows.

Started out promisingly

Warning: Spoilers
but the ending....meh. It began with a sexy "personal shoplifter" strutting down the street changing disguises right out in the open, then going into high end stores like Dolce and Gabbana, and getting five finger discounts left and right, all to the tune of Nelly Furtado's club song "Maneater." She cleverly disguises herself in fabric that makes her appear as an apparition to the security cameras in the stores that she hits up. Alas a murder just happens to occur while she is in the dressing room...hmmm. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to see who was playing the role of the shoplifter, though! But the ending to that storyline was just not as interesting as it could have been, and just not believable to me--namely the part about the scanner that reads peoples info from their purses and wallets. The other storyline concerned a college campus's secret masked society called Knights and Shadows. Again, it started out with a bang, murder of an intelligent young man apparently tripping on absinthe in one of those creepy hedge labyrinths that reminded me of "The Shining," then wound down to a typical storyline ending of poor-little-rich-boy-who- failed-his-daddy. In my opinion, it felt rather "been there done that." All in all it was a fair to middling 1 hour time waster.
