Touching Evil (2004)
A Massive Insult: Case Closed
13 March 2004
Even after first seeing the billboard on the subway and reading the "Teaser" on line, I must admit I was still unprepared for the testosterone laden "Die Hard-Lethal Weapon-Mad Maxesque" buddy film of a remake that premiered last night.

He almost died so now he can break all the rules. She's a female agent so she must be obsessed with them.

Can the FBI survive them? Can they survive each other? Give me a break! The Sci-fi Channel can do better than that.

Simply put.

If you want to see "Touching Evil" I suggest you go to your Public Library and rent the full PBS/BBC series. Or contact your local PBS station and demand it's re-airing on Mystery. It is there you will find excellent writing, subtle acting, imaginative directing and thought provoking subject matter that encourages Our intelligence as an audience not insults it.

It is my regret to inform you that this will not happen when you watch this Cable version of the series. Case Closed.
