Enjoyed This Movie!!
Added 3/3/2009
All-right, I really liked this movie. Yeah, there were a couple of suprises and disappointments. Captain Greer getting killed and Pete (who on the the original television show was one of the coolest white boys ever!) is a knucklehead. As a fan of the original show, the plot was no worse or better than anything I remember and the action was cool. I went to see this movie when it came out. I am just updating my VHS collection with DVDs which is why I purchased this movie.

Fun Movie
Added 7/23/2008
I was very suprised to see so many negative reviews on this movie! I only bought it because I love Claire Danes but was pleasantly suprised by it. All the acting was great, the story was interesting, what more are you people looking for? Given, I never saw the show but I enjoyed this movie and have watched it twice and it will stay a part of my collection for a long time to come.

Terrible waste of time
Added 8/2/2007
I faithfully watched The Mod Squad every day at 4pm in syndication in the 70's. I loved the TV show. The characters were cool, believable, and "solid". This attempt to revive interest failed miserably. The actors were boring, and seemed not to even try. The plot was confusing, and the producers, directors and writers made no attempt to remain faithful to the original storyline. Most of the newer movie versions of old shows at least tried. I found Dukes of Hazzard pretty good. I look forward to seeing "Dallas" in the theaters. (I think they should get Larry Hagman to play "Jock"!). But this "movie" doesn't even deserve one star. It's a shame because I would love to see The Mod Squad back in syndication. I hope the series comes out on DVD. Be cautious - watch the movie before you purchase.

Was this movie a joke?

I couldn't decide! If this wasn't one of the worst movies ever made I don't know what is.

The Dream Team

(This film might put you to sleep.)
Genre classifications "action" and "thriller" are both terribly misapplied in this case. The film's pacing is slow, the character development doesn't really exist with regard to some important characters, the writing is poor, and as such it is difficult to judge whether the acting is subpar because the actors aren't all that great (though Ribisi has proven his ability in some much better stuff) or because the script wasn't worth producing. Add to all of this a sad lack of special effects and an unmemorable soundtrack, and you've got an entire work of below-average film making.
If you're looking for an arcane suspense/action, "Ronin" might be a good pick, but even still, for blockbuster quality stick to the well-traveled paths of smash hits. There's a reason "everybody" liked some films.
ALong
