Review of The Mod Squad (1999) by Christopher B — 31 Jul 2013
Average movie for a college date night. While the four lead actors do capture the essence of their predecessors, those not familiar with the 1968-73 TV series might not understand many of the characteristics being displayed.
The middle of the film seems to have been heavily edited so the final half hour just seems to unravel tangled bits of plot that were barely explained. Thankfully done with realistic action scenes (unlike the Charlie's Angels or Mission Impossible reboots), this might have improved with additional films except for Farina's final scene - which axed that idea.
To sum up; good acting doesn't save the bad script under mediocre direction.
