Featured review
Logan & Falacci Hammer Home the Justice
Chris Noth was Mike Logan, the first detective in the original Law & Order TV series, from 1990-1995. In Criminal Intent, he reprised his role of Mike Logan for 36 episodes. At the time, I thought it was the greatest thing that could ever have happened.
I have never liked the ham-faced Vincent D'Onofrio since his ridiculous performance as the mentally defective dud recruit in Full Metal Jacket. The D'Onofrio style of getting into the minds of people so they confess is ridiculous. In the real world, 99% of the felons would tell him to go puck himself and laugh at his antics.
So seeing the Criminal Intent format used with a good actor like Chris Noth was a breath of fresh air. Noth always plays Mike Logan as a no-nonsense detective with good instincts. Alicia Witt does an excellent job as his detective partner, but she only played the role of Nola Falacci for five episodes in 2007. The two of them made a good team, and they handled the witnesses and the suspects very well together.
Eric Bogosian was the department head on Criminal Intent from 2006-2010. He does an excellent job here interacting with Noth and Witt, and giving them good ideas to follow up on. Bogosian was very involved in the investigation, and he does a great job in this episode helping Noth and Witt catch the very deceptive, cunning, and manipulative killer.
The suspects are Noah Brezner, played by Josh Pais, who appeared on Criminal Intent twice. In this episode, he is very convincing as a sleazy married writer who gets into trouble because he was cheating on his wife. As all the evidence points to him as the guilty party, even Mike Logan feels sorry for him. But is he guilty??
He counts on his mistress, Tammy, played by Amanda Detmer, to provide an alibi, but she just sinks him further. Logan and Falacci are suspicious of her also, but her sleazy lawyer, played by Lola Glaudini, keeps the detectives at bay. Detmers is excellent as an emotionally confused person who is torn in opposing directions. Logan and Falacci do a great job at pulling her heart-strings.
Her lawyer - girlfriend is played by Lola Glaudini, who was great on Criminal Minds for several years. Here Glaudini is excellent as a psychotic, vicious, manipulating, cunning, and totally vile criminal lawyer. This story has many twists and turns, and all the actors do outstanding work in this episode. It is one of my favorites.
