Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated) Binding: DVD EAN: 9781594436178 Format: Color, NTSC ISBN: 1594436177 Label: Tango Entertainment Languages: Manufacturer: Tango Entertainment MPN: 1960 Number Of Items: 4 Publisher: Tango Entertainment Region Code: 1 Release Date: June 14, 2005 Running Time: 960 minutes Studio: Tango Entertainment Theatrical Release Date: September 18, 1997 Editorial Review: Description: Starring Robert Pastorelli (Murphy Brown) as "Fitz" Fitzgerald, a brilliant but abrasive police psychologist working with the L.A.P.D. Fitz doesn't fit the typical psychologist stereotype; he's a drinker, a gambler and cheats on his wife. Fritz has uncanny success interrogating criminals and cracking cases; after all, he understands their vices, weaknesses and perversities. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An Addictive SeriesRobert Pastorelli won me over. I didn't care for him at first. Too academic, too much the know it all; but I discovered that the fallible "Fitz" with his vices and weaknesses was not easily fooled by himself nor was he fooled for long by the suspects he interrogated. After the third or fourth episode I was hooked, and watching all sixteen hours became a priority for me. Rating:  - Worthwhile in its entiretyThere's no way this U.S. version ever could have equalled the UK original by Granada Television, even though the U.S. show was co-produced by Granada.

Rating: - Not a rip offOne of the reviews states that this Cracker is a ripoff of the UK show. How can it be a rip off when you are told in the credits this show is based on the Granada TV show. Granada, the original producer of the UK show, created a US arm to co produce this show for ABC. So please be careful how you use the word "rip off". If anything, Granada should have made sure the show could live up to its British cousin. And in a way I think it did. Another comment written here says US audiences don't ... Read More Rating: - Give it a ChanceThe American version of Cracker needs to been seen. When it played on ABC, I'm sure those who were unfamiler with the U.K. version didn't know what to make of this show. Pretty damn faithfull to the original version, American audience's didn't quite know what to make of it. Way Way too dark for the U.S.. Too Smart?? Most likely. So no matter how good it is, it will fail. The series was not dumbed down, and many of the episodes were taken directly from ... Read More |
