The Pretender 2001

I really thought that this movie would clear up some of the mysteries from the series, but I walked away from it with more questions than ever. I understand the need to keep the franchise alive so that more movies can be produced, but couldn't we have something revealed?

The further adventures of master impersonator Jarod as he rights wrongs while being pursued by the sinister organization that wants him back. Lots of plot points are revealed in this story of Jarod posing as an FBI agent to track down a killer, only to discover it's someone from his past, someone who is every bit his equal: another pretender. Meanwhile, the Centre Trio (as I call them), Miss. Parker, Sydney, and Broots, continue to unravel the secrets of the organization they work for, making startling discoveries along the way, with a major (and shocking) revelation for Miss. Parker at the climax. One of the things I didn't like about the final season of the show was that it started to get too wrapped up in its own mythology, but THE PRETENDER 2001 gets back to basics, creating a nice balance between the parallel stories of Jarod and The Centre without getting itself wound up. Thought a tad slow near the center, the film picks up again for the remainder, with a great performance by Michael T. Weiss. I can't understand why he hasn't gotten more film work; he's very talented. And of course, Miss. Parker nicely wears an ultra-skimpy skirt during the first half-hour. Not as good as some of the regular episodes (especially the first two years of the series), but I'm just thankful TNT gave so much interest in one of my favorite shows. Hopefully, the upcoming sequels will be just as good.

Thanks for the first season on DVD. We really like the Pretender. We would have Pretender parties at the beginning and end of every season. Since it was canceled (at least no more new episodes) we haven't had a party in a while. Now with the DVD we can plan some parties and have our own Pretender marathon. We look forward to upcoming seasons on DVD also. I know that the end of the Pretender was suppose to wrap everything up and answer a lot of questions, but I don't believe it did that. I really would have liked to see Jarod and Sydney get together and do that fishing trip Jarod wanted to do. Miss Parker also needed to end up happy some way. As for Broots he sort of just vanished off the scene and what ended up happening to Angelo? I know this could never happen now, but it would have been nice. Thanks again for the DVD.

I have been an avid watcher of "the pretender" series and I couldn't believe when NBC took it off the air but then it came back on TNT. (Can't keep the Pretender away)

WOW....is pretty much the only thing to describe this movie.... It's a thrill ride to say the least......it kept me in suspence..the drama and mystery were wonderfully acted and written. I was glued to the television and didn't get up.

Keep on Pretending ''i know who i am do you??''

I was thrilled that they did The Pretender movie and it was great! I can't believe nobody mentioned the two blatant errors though. (Hey, it's a fans job to do this kind of stuff!) The first one is in the opening accident scene with Ms. Parker - she has the diamond ring on that she found in the safe - much later in the show. The second one is Jarod talking about "Apache code talkers during the war". The code talkers were Navajo of course! I'm sure there are more errors (it's human I'm not faulting the show) but these two were really glaring! I still loved the movie and can't wait until they air the next one.
