As awesome as Jim Caviezel is, this thing was the biggest waste of 3 days of my life (or however long it was)... and yet somehow I feel compelled to watch it again...
How to ruin a classic? Get a bunch of yanks to remake something British. The original Prisoner DIDN'T have grenades stuffed in peoples' mouths & the Rover wasn't the size of a ruddy block of flats
@zendojo3 yeah I have, its great. what I meant by my previous comment was that the original had no problems, and I implied that there was no need to remake the series.
jesus christ this looked terrible. i thought it would be similar to the original, or at least have a related plot line, but it's just generic storyline crap sprawled over an old concept to make it look like a decent remake.
they should never have bothered trying in the first place
The only reason I watch this show is because we have a holiday home in the original "village" - Swakopmund, Namibia. It is Namibia's premier coastal resort town.
@SiRebellion101 you havent watch the series yet ? all the village is a result of the mind of another person at the end number 6 is the prisoner of his own mind
UK tv showed -HighCRIMEs- the other day and in the DailyMail TVListing WriteUp, it ( had) said _Army,etc corruption thriller with AshleyJud and MorganFreeman_ ,
not 1 mention of LEADing MAN, SEXy underDOG, GENT JAMes (Jim) Caviezel !
there's a huge plothole in here: if the village is in the middle of the desert, where do supplies like water and food come from? They can't grow vegetables on that ground and water would eventually run out so trucks or planes had to come to the village to bring supplies and everybody would notice
@SiRebellion101 - not really, if they all unquestionably lived there and were happy (or unhappy) with it and didn't have any other idea of anywhere else. they'd be indifferent, they wouldn't really know about food coming in 'cause there is no idea of that practice. of course you can elaborate more and more on it, but it seems like splitting hairs as the least of the ideas coming into my head is 'how are these people not -automatically- aware of the real world?' etc.
A re-imagining of what is a classic cult series, the sixth attempt to get a re-make onto the screen (big or small) alas, it has no depth, or sense of danger/menace, or even atmosphere. What little gravitas it has is scavenged from the juicy carcass of the 'original' McGoohan work. If there is one thing I learned to appreciate at Lions Gate, it is that no amount of 'names', 'action sequences' & fast music, can compensate for dire script & a lack of vision. Re-title 'The Emasculated Prisoner'
To WHOmever doesN't like The(New)Prisoner, it's Not JAMes (Jim) ' s fault that he was on his own against 2english FAGgots, UNpro_fessionalS. Old english FAGgot Ian & poof jamie are substandard ACTorS but fond of Shit.

Hey dude have you seen the whole miniseries this week? I saw the whole thing and i am so mind fucked right now? I don't understand what the villiage really is. All i know is that a dreamer is needed to keep the villiage alive or it will die. But how does he get out, or how does he get in? Like, how does the villiage function? All the people in the villiage that 6 incounters are the people that he studied and were...defective according to 2.
SPOILERS: As far as I understand, the persons in the Village are not "entire minds", just a subconscious part of the persons outside. People with traumas or addictions get the "bad part" of his mind imprisoned in the Village, while they get their behavior "fixed" in the real world, as long as the Village keep them (this subconscious part responsible for their "bad behavior", now personified) inside.
The technical details of how Semicorp does something like that is not explained. So people, in except of persons who were born in the Village, are IN and OUT at the same time, being a good worker, a family man with an appropriated feeling of being part of their community. Something like that, I GUESS! Sorry for my low english level, I'm from Spain. :(
