Saw a commercial saying that I could watch a preview of Patrick Swayze's new show on A&E on Comcast's 'On Demand'
Huh. I didn't think Swayze could play dark but he pulls it off in this show. He's a gruff FBI agent that does whatever needs doing to catch the bad guy. He's got a newbie partner, Ellis Dove, played by Travis Fimmel (He of the Tarzan show fame).
Fimmel cut his hair and it helped tone down the male model pretty. He's had some acting lessons since Tarzan was on.
There's ins and outs and gun pointing and cursing.
It reminded me a lot of Training Day with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke.
There's a great twist in the end that I won't talk about but yeah I give it a B. It could use some polishing, but for a pilot ep it was good.
