Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
SnoopyStyle A woman's body is found on the bridge between El Paso and Juarez on top of the border. Sonya Cross (Diane Kruger) is a cop from the American side and Marco Ruiz (Demian Bichir) is from the Mexican side. They are forced to work together. Lieutenant Hank Wade (Ted Levine) is her supervising officer. Charlotte Millwright (Annabeth Gish) owns a ranch at the border and finds a tunnel on her property. Daniel Frye (Matthew Lillard) is an American investigative reporter on the edge.The first season is mostly about one serial killer investigation. It's somewhat boring. I don't buy Kruger's performance. I like Bichir's performance much more. It moved fairly slowly and unconvincingly. Millwright's storyline never really connected. Then the show changed right before the end of season 1. It added quite a few weird characters. The best one is Eleanor Nacht (Franka Potente) as the unemotional disturbed hired killer. The second season is definitely crazier, and weirder. It feels almost random as the show gets wilder. At least, it gets more interesting. With the show changing over the two seasons, it feels unstable and never really settled down. I do find some of it very interesting.
B Decker In Australia this comes rated MA15+ and deservedly so. Sex scenes, blood and bad language. So put the kids to bed, sit back and enjoy the suspense and excellently developed storyline - if that's your kind of thing.The characters are complex and convincing, acting is top notch. I think FX was sooo lucky to get Diane Kruger for the Cross role. There is a lot of discussion about her portrayal of female Asperger's syndrome and I can contribute to the discussion. Aspergers is never cookie cut the same from person to person, but I for one vouch that her rendition is believable and well thought out. I do however take issues with the several very ignorant reviews on this site who "don't know what ever quirk she has..." reveal just how utterly ignorant they are. Nuff said.Sorry I really can't understand the ratings problem - very few dramas on broadcast TV are at this caliber. Gritty, suspenseful, consuming and intelligent. Had me watching every week and can't wait for more.Highly recommended for adult audiences.
bjarias There's a great review of this show by Tim Goodman on The Hollywood Reporter website.. search it out, it's well worth the read. The Bridge is not a perfect production.. few are.. but no doubt, it is a very good one... well above the average bunch of innocuous, boring crime dramas blatantly fed to viewers today. Kruger and Bichir do top notch work.. casting kudos.. they're a very odd pairing, just as they were meant to be. When you stick your neck out and are willing to take risks, there's a good chance there are going to be some missteps... but like the last line of Goodman's well written and thoughtful critique says.. "... growing pains are good... they're what you feel when you're evolving."
purrlgurrl What is very good about the show:1. Diane Kruger is doing her best work. 2. Demian Bichir. You can't take your eyes off him even when he's only on the periphery of the action. He's that good. 3. The chemistry between Kruger and Bichir. 4. Ted Levine. 5. Matthew Lillard. 6. Annabeth Gish. 7. A great Hispanic cast. 8. Recurring cameos by Lyle Lovett. 9. The context is the real-world tragedy of hundreds of young women going missing in Juarez. 10. A fascinating glimpse at life in US-Mexico border towns.What's not so good:1. The murder in the pilot is still hanging, but I suspect it will resurface. 2. What looked to be a very wrong change in story direction mid-season. However, by the end of the season it seems maybe this several episode shift was to provide additional motivation for Bichir's character. Nevertheless, the plot shift went on for too many episodes and almost tanked season one.Thankfully, Fox has ordered a second season. Here's hoping the producers now give the storyline some serious TLC because this show has enormous potential to be one of the great ones.
