The Pretender 2001 / The Pretender - Island of the Haunted Reviews:
Good Product 
2008-08-28 - Fine product. I enjoy this series very much and was glad to see the concluding TV movies which are now available on DVD. Very enjoyable and entertaining.
Really, really bad movie 
2008-08-06 - I rented this DVD from Blockbuster for a friend who has Netflix. Well, kudos to Netflix for not carrying this waste of time.
I've only watched "The Pretender 2001", and you'll see why I didn't watch the other side of the DVD. The Pretender 2001 seemed bad from the first few minutes: cliché shots, forced dialog, and all that. However, it was highly sought after by my friend, so I kept watching to see what was so good about it.
Well, don't hold your breath - the movie was less than ordinary. I will forget it in a matter of hours, because it had nothing special. OK, maybe I'll remember for a while the obvious plot holes:
When Jarod reads the sign language letters from the photos that Alex left, they happen to be in the right order to spell GHOST, a chance of 1 in 120. We're not even delighted with solving an anagram.
Jarod is a genius and when he calls to ask for the Swedish embassy's phone number, he memorizes it instantly and dials it right away, pretending to be a Swedish journalist. However, when he is told that the Swedish ambassador will be at the Opera house at 4:00pm, he has to write down that information.
At the end of the movie, Alex walks into a crane hanging over the water and pummels at the door at its end, when it is clear that there would be no escape even if the door were to open.
Anyway, this movie was a complete waste of my time. What is the point of movies like this? They don't teach anything, you can't relate to them (any super-geniuses around working with the NSA?), and they're not even entertaining. Such movies, like Agatha Christie books, are very specific stories portraying a puzzle that offers no reward beyond solving the puzzle itself. Watch Sicko or The Bridges of Madison County and you'll be able to have a more intelligent conversation about health systems or marriage routine. Watch The Pretender and you'll have nothing to talk about.
Pretender movie is awesome 
2008-06-16 - The pretender movie is awesome. Its with suspense, action, drama, some answers and ofcourse some cliffhangers. Definately worth your money.
Again this is a great seller!
2008-05-10 - I had waited two years to get this movie-I am thrilled that I finally got it--I also have the whole series....thank God...
The pretender
2008-04-18 - Great series funny as can be. Enjoy the movie and is sad that the show never continue or ended with a resolution to the many questions we have.
