i just came to sing praises for this movie ThoughtCrimes. Then, after going through all the comments made, I realised it wasn't just me : it IS a damn good movie!!! Navi Rawat is a total hottie (is she Indian?) and I only realised after it was all over that I was glued to the set. Bravo HBO! I loved the bits where her partner was fretting over his job insecurities - that was so cute! To all the TV executives out there reading this, the vote is unanimous, go make a TV series already! (I'm really kinda hoping that the writers do a TV crossover with "AliaS") Although I do hope the writers layoff the conspiracy theory arcs that's so prevalent in TV series' these days for at least 5 episodes where the characters could get firmly connected with the audience first.I do understand it's all about the money, and producing TV shows cost money; but you've got gold in your hands here! Is it the demographics that's holding this show back? I remember a good sci-fi show called "Sliders" (remember the 2-hour pilot) was turned to crap by internal politicking and selling(out) the show to it's bottomline. Although I love Kari Wuhrer as a actress, her appearance marked the demise of the show. Please don't do that with this one.However, I kinda agree with one of the comments made : 1) about the title - it's lame and it's gonna turn off your potential TV audience.2) the first 50 minutes has a tinge of "Firestarter" to it.

An excellent all round film, from its storyline to its cast. It has elements of X-Men meets Alias. The story runs well taking you from the very beginning to a mouthwatering 'want more' ending. All the characters have their own identities and allow you to understand their feelings and emotions without the need for the usual complex and barely believable plot twists to explain seemingly unnecessary plot rollercoasters. From early on you get very comfortable with the characters and find them very easy to follow and understand, the actors and actresses making this very easy. Special mention must go to Joe Flanagan, (Stargate Atlantis fans will recognise him) who plays a real feeling cop instead of the usual leading Robocop character who never puts a foot wrong, also Peter Horton, (from Sideout and 30something fame) who manages to balance compassion with trying to do the right thing for all people.Give this film a chance, you will not be disappointed; just nervous stood in a crowd the next day with your thoughts running through your mind. Would you want everyone knowing what you were thinking?

Very well made TV movie by USA Cable..wish there was a show ...but all is not lost as I'm sure leads Navi Rawat & Joe Flanigan have made enough impression to make progress otherwise. Great premise , good acting and I liked the chemistry between telepath Freya & Agent Deane...reminds of the good ole days of the Xfiles. IMHO the movie had enough going to make us want more..I actually checked at video store for more 'episodes" and was very disappointed to hear that TC never got picked up...but who knows anything is possible right? Just look what happened to Joss Whedons Firefly .... Verdict:- Watch it!! Its worth your while!

I just saw 'Thought Crimes' and was very impressed. The plot was well written and the characters were very fleshed out, in part, due to the fact that we could hear what most of them were thinking.I think as the movie progressed, we found out what it was like for Freya to come to terms with her gift, and because she was more at ease with it, we were able to see some of the less serious aspects of mind reading. "Scooby dooby doo, where are you, we got some work to do now..."Rare is the TV-Movie that captures the perfect blend of action/drama/humor, but I think 'Thought Crimes' really hit the nail on the head.10/10
