    Stupid movie!

    Don't waste your time. This movie is bad. Tacky, stupidly unrealistic. Unbelievable. The acting is bad, the story is dumb. It is not a drama. It's a hokey love story that is really insulting. You will roll your eyes and shake your head if you make it all the way to the corny ending.

    The Worst Excuse for a Movie

    Soooo bad. I wanted to hit delete but wanted to see if it got better. So disappointing. Those two had zero chemistry. And if anyone believes this is any where close to how the FBI works God help us. I know they've gone down the tubes at HQ but the agents are still good people. This junk was such a slap in their faces.

    Who could write this crap? And worse yet, who are the idiots that produced it and the network that airs it.

    None of the actors are any good but considering the script they had to work with what could anyone expect?!? And who did the casting? The budget for this thing had to be super low considering the lack of named talent they hired.

    I watched because some people gave this great reviews- did they even watch this garbage or was the sound up? So sad. Not a second of entertainment in this monstrosity. Save your time. It's worth much more than this junk.

    A Christmas witless.

    I longed to see Arielle Kebbel again. Now, I am sure I would have rather waited longer, for a better role. This movie had more than the needed themes for a rich drama. Intrigue, crime, a handsome criminal, turned informant and stalked with murderous intent, a beautiful witness protection officer, ..... and Christmas! In staging this comedy-drama, perhaps the intent was to mitigate crude moments with humor and romance. In reality, the criminal, inexplicably, is a pussycat, though ripped, as abundantly shown. The protection officer, the "best there is", seems unable to perceive any threats, amid repeated murder attempts, possibly because too immerse in contemplating the ripped chest. The murderer is a bungling idiot, Most characters act buffoonish and horny. The contest is a lot more La La Land than Christmas. Interspersed, there are a few sequences that want to be seriously dramatic, for unclear reason. If this is comedy, it is poorly done. As drama, it is a silly farce. Arielle, I still like you. I' ll try to forget this one.

    Hilarious. Sometimes on purpose

    The leads had pretty good chemistry and were fun to watch, but my favorite thing about the movie was it's complete lack of anything resembling realistic police techniques. I'm pretty sure nothing about the mob scenes was realistic, either. It made for a very fun viewing, although I'm not entirely sure that was intentional.
