A good rental. The director took some liberties with camera angles and flashback scenes in an attempt to be creative. In some cases it worked, in others it was distracting. The plot was decent and included a nice little twist. The acting was good in a campy, independent film way and the scenery breathtaking. As someone who has been to Costa Rica a few times (but for the Eco, not the plastic surgery though that was a funny commentary on the vain state of the world), it was nice to see the country depicted well. The people of Costa Rica are wonderful and warm, it's greedy folks like those in the movie that will ruin it.

In addition, actor Ryan Barton-Grimley is very sexy!

As eye candy, Fastlane pops; a shirtless Peter Facinelli is a delicious treat but the banter is boring. No clever, witty or intelligent dialogue is to be found and the actors deliver their lines in a mundane fashion. The show, without the babes, boys and toys, is just ordinary.

The season premier was catchy. It has a "Twin Peaks" atmosphere, camera moves reminiscent of "The Dead Zone" and I adore the lead, Jim Prufrock. An IRS agent with attitude - that just cracks me up! (Except that every time I hear his name the poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" pops into my head!)

If the writers can keep up the mystery without their viewers getting confused, this show is sure to be a hit!
