Fucking appauling

Life on Mars is some of the worst campy cop drama drivel I've seen since the 70's, so in that regard, I guess it is an authentic period piece to some degree. Other than that, I can't think of anything good to say about it. If it was a comedy, it might be good, but it's not.

Colm Meany was in the pilot, probably could have done something with it. Keitel is a great actor but simply too old to make the part work.

Harvey Keitel is amazing in Reservoir Dogs and in Pulp Fiction, and if anyone was going to take on this part he was the best bet.
but even so, this bothers me. Gene Hunt IS Phillip Glenister, and seeing someone else saying the lines just... argh. it doesn't work.
Plus, Harvey comes off as kinda... old. and weak. that punch was very unconvincing.

Somehow, this guy just doesn't do it for me.

@jazzx251 The REAL Gene Hunt??? Do you mean Phillip Glenister?

What a freakin' spaz Sam Taylor is. "What year is it supposed to be?" Yeah, R Tard, your buddies reconstructed the Twin Towers while you were sleeping, and convinced the whole city to drive around in pre-1974 cars just for a practical joke.

I would love to see a matchup between the REAL Gene Hunt and Harvey Keitel.
I wouldn't fancy Harvey's chances.
It would end with REAL Gene Hunt getting him in an arm lock spitting in his ear:
"You have the right not to impersonate an officer of the law! Raymondo, take this burger-belching ponce to the cells!"

Gene Hunt does not fan himself with girly hand fans...
He is a legend. But he's no Gene Hunt. Phillip Gleniester IS Gene Hunt.

Sorry, being British and loving the UK version, and the spin off Ashes to Ashes I have to disagree! Whilst I'm sure Harvey Keitel is a good actor in his own right, Philip Glenister brings a humor, lack of political correctness and edge to a role which is rightfully his! The british version of this intro, in my opinion, is way better... but again each to their own opinion, feel free to disagree!
