Wiseguy

I'm a huge fan of the original Wiseguy, one of the best examples of superb TV writing, acting and character development. I like shows that break the lowest common denominator rule of TV and Wiseguy certainly did. So in late 95, i was excited to read about this telefim being written by Joel surnow (lately of 24) and it first premiered i think in march of '96. That said i was a little let down when I saw it, they took a good shot at creating a memorable antagonist and developing Vinnies character further but it fell a bit short. i felt It was OK but I think they should have written a follow up mafia arc instead, now that Vinnies older id like to see him as the Don of his own mafia family. They were basically 2 mob story arcs in Wiseguy, one in season 1 and one in season 3, i would like to see a continuation of those.

I can appreciate why they made this "reunion" movie but while it gives the series a sort of conclusion and allows us to see our favourite Wiseguy characters again, the story seemed lightweight and uninvolving, Vinnie looked a lot older (and heavier) and apart from him, very little was seen of the rest of the series cast. I've nothing but praise for Ken Wahl for making this film as I'm sure he was in physical discomfort throughout due to his accident in 1992 . I can understand why he preferred to retire after it. We'll miss you though, Vinnie...

It's a shame that this is the last film Ken Wahl was ever in. As demoralized as Ken Wahl is about his injury and his addiction to drugs because of this injury, he still puts out a pretty good performance as Vinnie Terranova, the hunky, sensitive, undercover cop.

For people who have never seen the old "Wiseguy" series, they might not like this movie because they will not understand it. But for those who were glued to the TV everytime the show was on in the 1980s, will appreciate and enjoy this movie. This movie has all the classic elements of a "Wiseguy" episode and that is a great thing!

I'm sorry the Ken Wahl is no longer making movies. He's a wonderfully talented actor that has hit bad times. I hope he will rebound one day and return to TV, where he belongs.

I am an 80s kid and i truly love the 80s , 90s movies and tv shows of Ken Wahl. Basically our childhood hero :) this one is one of those beautiful classics of his. Too bad he never got to play the Superman Role because he would have been great at it.

If you ever watched the TV series Wiseguy in the mid 80's early 90's , which was a huge hit this TV movie is worth to watch.

It was sadly Ken Wahl's last movie due a bad accident. Which is a shame because he was very well talented actor wo played the character of Vinnie Terranova very well. The movie has all the ingredients of the classic Wiseguy TV series.

If you are a fan of Ken Wahl and the Wiseguy series, this is definitely a must watch.
