The greatest movie ever made..!
Sorry, this movie sucks
Good movie but grossly overrated
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Abracadabra. I said ABRACADABRA! Abracadabra? Nope, the magic's gone.A sluggish attempt to cash in on Chris Noth's persona from the excellent TV series "Law&Order." What the series had going for it was a fine ensemble cast, concision, interesting plots, and that immortal sound -- Plonk Plonk.The producers have done everything they could, I suppose, to reestablish Noth after his character (and the actor himself) had been booted off suddenly from the original. His Detective Mike Logan was reliable and believable.But this ragout of incidents and plot elements drag in characters from the original series willy nilly, just to let the viewer know that Noth is in good company, and then dispenses with them. It's a pretty cheap device and, although I don't blame the writers for trying, it doesn't work.Noth and his new unexceptional blond partner from Staten Island do everything they can to lay claim to homicides that properly belong to Noth's old precinct. The problem is that the film lacks energy. Noth seems to mope his way through the story and others seem almost embarrassed to be in this attempt to squeeze another nickel out of the genuine achievements being outlined across the harbor on Manhattan.Man, it is slow, and less than spellbinding. Plunk Plunk.
"Exiled" (1998) feels like a decent episode that has been made into a movie. It follows the annals of Chris Noth (as Detective Mike Logan) who left the show in 1995. After last being seen demoted in the L&O episode "Pride" (1995) he now seeks to solve the murder of a prostitute to try to regain his old job in Manhatten. As we follow him along, we get welcome cameos by L&O regulars the late Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe, Benjamin Bratt as Detective Rey Curtis, Sam Waterston as Executive D.A. John 'Jack' McCoy, and S. Epatha Merkerson as Lieutenant Anita Van Buren. The use of music is done by L&O regular, Mike Post. His score is okay compared to what we hear in the series, but it's nice for continuity to be heard here. A 7 out of 10.
My name is Mike Logan, I am the best part of Law&Order...I completely dominated this wonderful two hour special of Law&Order entitled "EXILED" I was incredible in my acting performance and I look FANTASTIC!!...Many people want me back on Law&Order.. However, I am a sensational success on the hit series "Sex and the City" as well!! I am doing hit movies and I love being a huge and immensely popular actor in one of the biggest Television series in all of the history of NBC's history and all other networks as well!! Law&Order has done a great deal for me, however I have made significant contributions to the success of Law&Order as well!! When you are 6'4" and you are loved by women and admired and respected by men due to your great looks and wonderful personality, you are cast as the highlight in a Law&Order television special....Exiled was my show...nobody else seemed to spark the television audience nearly as much..."Exiled" was great, because I was great!!!...Of course, Chris Noth is way too modest to say all of these things...but he should...So I will say it for him...I loved Chris Noth in Law&Order "Exiled" just as I thought that he was without question and effortlessly the best part of Law&Order as well!!!
I've been a Chris Noth Fan for a long time, and was very upset when he left LAW & ORDER. Mike Logan was a quirky, individualistic character who always left you wanting more. What a treat that Mr. Noth and co-writer Charles Kipps finally told us what happened to Logan after he was banished to Staten Island. In addition to being an enjoyable, fast moving mystery, there was always the underlying angst of Logan's boredom. I'm reminded of the phrase "Be Careful What You Wish For...You May Get It." Logan got what he wished for: He returned to the 2-7, and the Homicide work that he loved, only to find out that you can't go back again.I'd enjoy seeing a sequel, to find out how the character resolves this.Good Work, Chris Noth!
